Enveloped by the solemn silence of the woods and the Mediterranean maquis blanketing the innermost foothills of Seneghe, a short distance from the Mesu Maiore site, the Sa Facch'e S'Altare giants' tomb reveals itself as a distinguished and fascinating funerary monument of Nuragic Sardinia.
The megalithic structure, deeply marked and modified by the passage of millennia and collapses, primarily preserves the imposing central façade block, while the remains of the exedra and the burial body appear heavily altered and reduced today compared to their original conformation.
At the center of the elevation opens the characteristic finely squared stele, visible in the image, embellished by a sharp relief frame and the low access portal that once led into the internal corridor.
This extraordinary testimony, immersed in the deep green and volcanic reliefs of Montiferru, conveys the image of a monumental funerary architecture that the fury of time and neglect have partially dismembered, yet preserves intact the solemnity and technical mastery of ancient protohistoric peoples in shaping local stone to consecrate the cult of ancestors.
