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 our village'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; or continue to the Golgo for a full day of archaeology and nature.
