Necropoli di Monte Luna

At the top of Monte Luna, prehistoric traces linger: fragments of huts, obsidian blades, and the rock-cut chambers known as domus de janas, all from a settlement that existed between the late fourth and early second millennium BC. But the main story here is later, Punic and Roman. Along the eastern and southern slopes sprawls a necropolis of some 120 chamber tombs, hewn into the soft marly limestone. Their layout follows no strict grid; instead, each tomb twists to fit the contours of the ridge. A quarry on the eastern side has since obliterated an unknown number of graves, though their ghostly cuts remain visible in the rock face. Many tombs were robbed long ago, their grave goods gone. Still, the site offers a stark, eloquent lesson in layering: prehistoric, Punic, Roman, and modern extraction, all carved into the same hill.
