The necropolis of Noeddale is an archaeological site located in the territory of Ossi (in the province of Sassari in north-western Sardinia). It is an area rich in evidence of the island's hypogean architecture (4th-3rd millennium BC). The necropolis consists of six hypogea, three of which are preceded by dromoi (access corridors also carved out of the rock). The most interesting are those called the "tomb of the house" (made up of 11 rooms) which reproduces the architectural structure and the ceiling of the pre-nuragic houses, and the "tomb of the spirals" enriched by numerous relief decorations: spirals, taurine protomes, frames ... The area is open and has free entry; it is accessed from the last houses of Ossi towards Florinas

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.

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.

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.
