**Sedda sa Caudeba Tomba di Giganti A** submitted by SolarMegalith : Tomba di Giganti Sedda sa Caudeba A - view from the SW (photo taken on September 2010). (Vote or comment on this photo)

First out of two chambered tombs of Sedda sa Caudeba is the better preserved one. It's dated to 1600 - 1400 year BC and it's an example of nuragic funeral architecture which evolved from Neolithic dolmens.

Tomba di Giganti A is 7.30 m long with perfectly visible shape of a burial chamber. The finds from the tomb suggest that it contained a male burial.

To reach both megalithic tombs you need to follow tha road to Collinas - the signpost to the tombs, which are located near the road, will appear after about 2 km.
