The Domus de Janas "La Rocca", Sedini, north Sardinia

            Domus de janas "La Rocca" 

On the edge of the old town centre of Sedini is one of the most important and unique monuments in Sardinia: the domus de janas “La Rocca”, a large limestone block completely excavated in the Late Neolithic era (3500/2700 B.C.), to create a necropolis.

Re-used up until Medieval times as a home, it was later extended and transformed into a temporary prison probably for the Spanish Inquisition in the XVI century. It later became a home, used up until a few years ago. Nowadays, the complex is a series of rooms from various eras (from Neolithic times to the Middle Ages, to the nineteenth century), carved out of solid rock, separated and interconnected with slabs and walls, for a total of 129 m2 spread across three floors.

Ai margini del centro storico di Sedini si trova uno dei più importanti e singolari monumenti della Sardegna: la domus de janas “La Rocca”, un grande masso calcareo scavato completamente nel neolitico recente (3500/2700 a.C.), per realizzarvi una necropoli.

Riutilizzata fin dal medioevo come abitazione, fu successivamente ampliata e trasformata in prigione temporanea probabilmente dell’inquisizione spagnola nel XVI secolo. Divenne poi un’abitazione utilizzata fino a pochi anni fa. Il complesso si presenta oggi come una serie di ambienti di varie epoche (dal Neolitico al Medioevo, all’Ottocento) ricavati nella roccia viva, separati e integrati fra loro con solai e muratura, per un totale di 129 mq distribuiti su tre livelli.
