TOMBE DEI GIGANTI 10 mins driving Near the Castle of Pedres there is a tomb of the giants, the ancient burial as from the Nuragic era. Like the other tombs of the giants, it consists of a longitudinal structure covered by horizontal slabs and an exedra designed by vertical slabs. This monument can also be accessed freely and without paying a ticket.

Near the town of Olbia, a halo of mystery surrounds a place of nuraghic burials. In the tomb of Giganti de su mont'e s'Abe, unlike the thousands of prehistoric burials of its kind, the dead were buried in collective form. In the funeral hall were officiated the sacred rites related to the deceased but here, compared to what happened elsewhere, were not found in the sacred well the funeral documents that accompanied the deceased until the conjunction with the deity. The construction was built in two phases. In the first, dating back to the period of the culture of Bonnanaro, was built the tomb allée couverte - a sort of elongated dolmen -, then, around 1600 BC, was transformed into the tomb of Giants with exedra and stele, of which you can see some traces. The building, originally built in the shape of a bull's head, a god-giver of life, was bordered by a frontal semicircle. At the centre of the exedra were a four-metre high granite stele and, at the base, a small opening used as the entrance to the tomb. Inside, the tomb was formed by a chamber ten meters long, while the entire structure is still clearly visible 28 meters long and six meters wide, one of the largest in Sardinia.

Prehistoric monument of over 4 thousand years ago, which evokes the head of a bull, a nuragic divinity. Unlike the thousands of prehistoric burials of its kind, the deceased were buried collectively. In the funeral hall the sacred rites related to the deceased were officiated but here, compared to what happened elsewhere, the funerary documents that accompanied the deceased until the union with the divinity were not found in the sacred well.
