Tombe di Giganti Monte Ollastus

The Tomb of the Giants of Monte Ollastus (Villamassargia) is an important funerary monument of the nuragic civilization, dating back to the Bronze Age, located in the territory of Sulcis-Iglesiente. The site represents a significant testimony of the megalithic collective burials and ritual practices of the ancient Sardinian communities.
The structure presents the typical configuration of the Tombs of the Giants, with an elongated funerary corridor intended for depositions and a semicircular frontal exedra, used for collective ceremonies related to the worship of the dead. The plant was originally covered by a mound of land and stone, now no longer preserved.
Built with large lithic blocks, the tomb highlights the constructive and organizational capacities of the nuragic populations, as well as the strong link between funerary architecture and natural landscape. The site of Monte Ollastus is part of a widespread archaeological context, contributing to the valorization of the prehistoric heritage of the territory of Villamassargia.
