Dolmens of Sardinia

Sardinia hosts over 200 dolmens concentrated in the north-central part of the island, particularly around Nuoro, forming one of Western Europe's most important megalithic groups. Dating from the end of the 4th to the end of the 3rd millennium BC, these collective tombs feature rectangular or polygonal chambers of vertical orthostats covered by horizontal capstones, originally enclosed in earthen mounds. Notable examples include Sa Coveccada in Mores (3 m high, 5 m wide) and the dolmens at Pranu Muttedu near Goni. Entrances typically face southeast with sealed doorways.
