コッソイーネの天然記念物・トップ10

An adventurous approach, barking dogs, thorny undergrowth. The dolmens were great, but unfortunately the hiking trail was not well maintained, so we turned back with our son.

Plains with a primordial appearance, large green spaces bordered by imposing rock formations, isolated or in rows, with caves dug by nature and inhabited by man over the millennia

The caves are accessible from the road across a meadow. However, there are no paths, despite other claims to the contrary. We didn't find one, and the thistles and thorns make hiking less enjoyable. The area and the view are, of course, wonderful.

The necropolis of Puttu Codinu ("rock well") is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Villanova Monteleone, province of Sassari, near the state road 292 that leads to Monteleone Rocca Doria. A necropolis with nine hypogeal tombs was found on the site, in an area with rocks emerging from the surrounding land. The tombs were found by chance during recent excavation work. It is believed that the site began to be used in the recent Neolithic (3500 BC). Source: Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropoli_di_Puttu_Codinu

The path passes through the Domus de Janas of S'Ena de Cannuja, ancient pre-Nuragic tombs carved into the rock, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. This necropolis includes six tombs dug into a trachytic ridge. The tombs were presumably reached using carvings dug into the rock face similar to those still preserved in the Domus de Janas Sos Furrighesos necropolis in Anela.

At the top of Mount Torru there is a vast amphitheater which houses the majestic Torru nuraghe, dominating the entire peak. The nuraghe, a typical megalithic building of ancient Sardinia, was developed during the Nuragic age between 1900 and 730 BC. This structure, built with blocks of soft trachyte, rests directly on the rock which acts as a natural bastion. The view from here is wide and breathtaking.

The monument, a small cult spring from the Nuragic period, consists of an atrium and a small cell where the vein of the spring is collected. The paved rectangular atrium (5.15 x 1.80 m) has seating along the walls (height 0.30 m; width 0.40 m) and a small alcove. The masonry (height 2 m; width 3 m) consists of regular rows of carefully squared basalt blocks. From the atrium one enters the small cell through an entrance with a trapezoidal light (0.65 m wide; 0.64 m high) obtained in a monolithic slab. The small room (diameter 0.97 m; height 1.60 m), built of roughly worked but carefully joined blocks of basalt, has a "tholos" roof closed by a large horizontal slab. In Christian times, a Latin cross was engraved on the underside of the end plate. The water flows through a channel carved into the sill of the entrance to the spring to a drainage channel built under the floor of the atrium itself. The settlement of the place lasted until late antiquity, as evidenced by coins from the fourth century. AD Found in the time of Taramelli while clearing the porch.
