Necropoli di Noeddale

Necropoli di Noeddale

The Noeddale Necropolis is a pre-Nuragic complex, situated on the outskirts of the town of Ossi, facing the Sae valley. It is composed of six hypogeic tombs, among the greatest examples of funerary architecture, of the Ozieri culture. Among these the so-called "Tomba della Casa", one of the most complex Domus de Janas in Sardinia, with its 11 rooms preceded by a dromos (an entrance passage); The name “della casa” (literally of the house) comes from the internal wall decorations, which reproduce the roofs of homes of that time, with a double-sloped ceiling typical of the recent Neolithic. It is also worth mentioning the so-called "Tomba delle Spirali", with six rooms, characterised by the presence of typical decorative elements of Sardinian funerary art: taurine protomes, false doors, and spiral motifs.
