Excavated into the rocky flanks of the hills south of the island of Sant'Antioco, the Su Monti de Is Baccas domus de janas constitute a fascinating complex of subterranean funerary architecture dating back to the Recent Neolithic.
These sepulchers, carved directly into the volcanic and limestone rock, were created by ancient pre-Nuragic communities to receive the deceased, imitating the dwellings of the living in their internal layout with chambers, antechambers, and details sculpted in the stone.
The hilly area, immersed in the quiet of the Mediterranean vegetation, preserves several cavities characterized by low entrances and often articulated floor plans, although some tombs show the signs of time, natural erosion, and subsequent reuse of the territory.
Despite the transformations undergone over the centuries, the complex represents a precious and silent testimony to the earliest stable human settlements in the Sulcis area, offering the visitor an evocative itinerary among ancestral spirituality, geology, and panoramas stretching toward the southern coasts of Sardinia.
