Tomba di Giganti Craminalana I

The Tomb of the Giants Craminalana I (Tratalias) is an important funerary monument of the nuragic civilization, dating back to the Bronze Age, located in the territory of Sulcis. The site represents a significant testimony of the megalithic collective burials and funeral rituals of the ancient Sardinian communities.
The structure presents the typical conformation of the Tombs of the Giants, with an elongated funerary corridor made of large blocks of stone and a semicircular frontal esedra, used as a ceremonial space for the collective rites related to the worship of the dead. Originally the complex was covered by a mound of land and stone, now no longer preserved.
The plant is part of a landscape of archaeological interest, characterized by the widespread presence of nuragic testimonies that highlight the importance of the territory of Tratalias in prehistoric times. The constructive quality and the use of great lithic elements testify to the technical capabilities of the nuragic communities.
