Overview

Experience the unique Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju, one of Sardinia’s largest and most significant prehistoric cemeteries, dating back to the Neolithic and Copper Age. This tour takes you deep into the ancient Domus de Janas (fairy houses), rock-cut tombs that served as the final resting place for the Sardinian people.

Admire the intricate tomb architecture, from simple to monumental, featuring symbolic carvings like bull's heads and propitiatory symbols, reflecting the religious beliefs of the era. Explore chambers inspired by the houses of the living, complete with steps, pillars, and false doors, where the deceased were buried alongside personal objects.

This immersive tour offers a profound insight into ancient Sardinian spirituality and the deep respect for nature, enhanced by the use of audio guides.

Activity itinerary

Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
The Anghelu Ruju Hypogeic Necropolis, discovered in 1903, is located in the countryside of Alghero. The tombs are classified into two distinct types: -Well-type tombs (earlier), characterised by irregular floor plans. -Corridor-type tombs (later), typically arranged in a T-shape or radial pattern. The architectural features of these tombs are often elaborated with elements inspired by domestic structures of the living, such as steps, pillars, cornices, false lintels, doors, and windows. Artefacts recovered from the site are associated with the Ozieri Culture (4200–3400 BCE), indicating the necropolis's earliest usage. Many tombs were later reused throughout the Chalcolithic period (3600–2100 BCE). The Domus de Janas were sealed externally with stone slabs and have revealed collective burials of individuals predominantly laid in a supine position.
