The tomb of Sas Puntas is located in the territory of Tissi (province of Sassari, Sardinia). Following from Sassari the road sp. 3, after a double curve which marks the beginning of the outskirts of Tissi, there is a lane with an (unreadable) sign indicating on the left the direction to the site. Where the lane ends, follow to the right a rocky and irregular path that runs along the ravine on the left. When it reaches a high limestone boulder with a deep vertical crack, go down some rough steps and then a steep path for about twenty meters up to a clearing near a large reef of limestone where the hypogeum is excavated.
The exterior is characterized by an exedra with a seat along its entire length and the typical stele. The oval-shaped interior shows two opposite niches and on the floor two cups pecked into the rock surface.
This tomb is defined “a prospetto architettonico”, that is, a grave of the Nuragic age, excavated in the rock (such as the pre-Nuragic domus de janas) which reproduces in the outer facade both a stele and an exedra, that are typical elements of the Giants' Tombs.
This type of grave is widespread in the territory of Sassari, but is nearly absent in the rest of Sardinia.
Access is free. But the indications are almost non-existent. You can contact the Municipality of Tissi to request a guided tour.
