Giants' Graves

Giants' tombs are Sardinian megalithic gallery graves built during the Bronze Age (c. 1800-1000 BC) by the Nuragic civilization [1] [2]. These communal burial structures feature long rectangular chambers, roofed with massive stone slabs and fronted by a semicircular exedra [1] [3] [4]. From above, the tombs resemble stylized bull heads [3] [5].
