Archaeological Area Santu Pedrù

Necropolis of ten domus de Janas carved into trachytic tuff on a hill in the Nurra region, Sardinia, dating to the 4th millennium BC [1]. These hypogeic tombs represent collective Nuragic burials occupying the eastern slope of the hill, above which a nuraghe with a hut village was later constructed [1]. The necropolis remained in use, also for different purposes, until the early Middle Ages [1].
