The necropolis of Anghelu Ruju is one of the largest and most significant archaeological sites in Sardinia, dating back to the Neolithic period (3000 BC). This vast and ancient complex counts 38 domus de janas (underground rock cut tombs) located on a calcareous sandstone hill. Many of the tombs are ornate with pillars, steps, inner chambers and carvings mostly of taurine horns. The use of the necropolis terminated in the Early Bronze Age (1500-1600 BC) and it has been discovered by chance only in 1903. Finds include potsherds, shells, stone ornamental objects, vessels, stone and bronze weapons etc.
