Osono Giants' Tomb — Archaeology | Guida Ogliastra I Mandorli
Osono Giants' Tomb
Three and a half thousand years in a holm-oak wood: the Osono giants' tomb is Triei's most precious monument and one of Ogliastra's best preserved. And it is, quite literally, I Mandorli's neighbour.
Details and how to get there
## The monument Giants' tombs were the collective burials of Nuragic communities: at Osono the semicircular granite exedra — the "bull's chest" that hosted the rites — is almost intact, and the funerary corridor runs eleven metres between perfectly fitted orthostats.
In the woods, the atmosphere is suspended.
## Visiting A short walk from the Osono road, among wild olives and dry-stone walls.
No ticket office, no crowds: just you, the granite and the cicadas.
Go early morning or at golden hour, when raking light ignites the stone.
## Around it Complete the visit with the Bau Nuraxi nuraghe and the village of Triei; or continue to the Golgo for a full day of archaeology and nature.
