      The tomb of Molafà is located within the municipal territory of Sassari (Sardinia).
      Leaving Sassari towards Alghero on state road 127 bis, after about 5 kilometers from the city center, you reach a level crossing and the very small station of Molafà. Not far away, on the slopes of the hill on your right, lies the tomb, which takes its name from the place. In early Middle Ages it was used and known as a rock church, but in reality it was a grave dating back to the nuragic era .
      This tomb is defined “a prospetto architettonico”, that is, a grave 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 Tombs of the Giants. Inside, there are several burial cells.
      This type of grave is widespread in the territory of Sassari, but is absent elsewhere in Sardinia.
      There are no fences or gates, so you can visit it freely.
      Near the tomb of Molafà stands the homonymous, mono-towered nuraghe.
