On today’s trip we go a few kilometers from Oniferi, in the heart of Barbagia, to discover the necropolis of Sas Concas. Probably this is one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in central Sardinia!
It is an ancient funerary complex that dates back to the Neolithic; here we find numerous hypogeal tombs dug into the rock, which in Sardinia are commonly called Domus de Janas.
Route to Sas Concas
The Necropolis is located right next to the road that leads from Abbasanta to Nuoro, nestled on a gentle hillside. Exiting at the junction for Oniferi, we find parking in a small clearing. Here we see a small sign “Sas Concas”.
We pass a small gate and, through a path in the greenery, you reach the archaeological area.
Access is free and there are no information or tourist panels or even refreshment areas.
Exploring the site
Walking among these prehistoric tombs, we can feel the ancient bond between man and the earth, in a place where wild nature and archaeology merge. When we then enter some of these Domus, we discover decorations, sacred symbols and engravings, evidence of ancient religious beliefs and rituals.
Surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation, Sas Concas offers not only a dive into the thousand-year history of Sardinia, but also an immersive experience in its uncontaminated nature, making it an unmissable destination for lovers of archaeology and authentic landscapes.
