In the territory south of Ossi there is an imposing necropolis on a limestone ridge of the southern slopes of Mount Mamas.
Left Ossi in the direction of Florinas, after 10 km on the SP 3, on the left you see a dirt road that leads quickly to a large open space, where you can leave your bike under a big oak tree. Here a path, well delimited by low dry stone walls, climbs (for 400 m.) to the funeral complex.
The necropolis consists of 18 domus de janas, all multicellular (in two of them there are up to 12 rooms), richly adorned with pilasters, panels, false doors, taurine protomes, spiral or wolf teeth motifs.
Some tombs reproduce the structure of the pre-nuragic houses with great realism: horizontal, or single or double sloping roofs, central beams and lateral joists, support pillars, zigzag and sawtooth motifs, fireplaces… everything carved in the rock.
Remember to bring a torch. The place is free to access and is clearly indicated by a sign at the beginning of the dirt road.
