Monte d'Accoddi is a Neolithic archaeological site in northern Sardinia, near Sassari. Its principal feature is a massive raised stone platform, thought to have been an altar. The structure was built by the Ozieri culture, or possibly an earlier one, with the oldest parts dated to around 4000-3650 BC. This makes it a rare, monumental example of prehistoric religious architecture in the western Mediterranean, predating the more famous nuraghi by millennia. The site offers a curious glimpse into the ritual life of Sardinia’s very first farmers.
