The territory of Guasila hosts the hypogeum of Riu Sa Mela, a small gem carved into the rock bench that discreetly overlooks the gentle rolling hills of the Trexenta region.

The architecture of the tomb reflects the mastery of Neolithic populations in carving living rock to create enduring sacred spaces. A small entrance hatch cut into the stone outcrop leads to the main funerary chamber, embellished with a central pillar sculpted from the stone that divides the interior space into well-defined areas. The care in the workmanship of the walls and the precision of the internal volumes testify to the profound symbolic value of this place, conceived as an eternal and protected dwelling for the deceased.

The tranquil nature enveloping the site amplifies the charm of this pre-Nuragic testimony of Trexenta. A reserved and evocative atmosphere accompanies the discovery of Riu Sa Mela, an ideal destination for anyone who loves exploring the most authentic and hidden traces of the island's history.
