Domus de Janas necropolis of Sa Rocca de Nanni Canu

 Indirizzo: 07044 Ittiri (SS)

The complex of graves is located near the monastery of Santa Maria of Paulis. One of the most interesting Domus de Janas is the one that in literature is referred to as Domus I. In fact it is characterised by the so-called “palatial" plan type: two large quadrangular chambers surrounded by several small chambers arranged in a radial pattern. The grave has preserved materials ascribable to the culture of Ozieri (Late Neolithic) and therefore can be dated back to this period despite a few restoration works probably occurring during the early Middle Ages.
