Tomba di giganti S’Arcu ‘e su Re

The Tomba dei Giganti S’Arcu’e su Re is an important funerary monument of the nuragic civilization, dating back to the Bronze Age, located in the territory of Sardinia. The site represents a significant testimony of the megalithic collective burials and ritual practices of the ancient Sardinian communities.
The structure follows the typical scheme of the Tombs of the Giants, with an elongated funerary corridor made with large blocks of stone and a semicircular frontal esedra, space intended for ceremonies and collective rituals related to the worship of the dead. The plant was originally covered by a mound of land and stone, now no longer preserved.
The distinctive element of the site is the quality of the architectural system and its integration into the landscape, which enhances its monumental character and ritual. The tomb testifies to the high social organization and the constructive skills of the nuragic populations.
