The necropolis of Ludurru, dug out of a granite outcrop, sits on a plateau on Monte Acuto, to the north of Buddusò. This is the Domus de Janas, also referred to as “Concheddas”, by the islanders, charmed by the complexity of its rooms and decorations.
The complex has three doors on the front facade providing access to three different orders of rooms and burial recesses, split into clearly distinguishable groups. The entrance door is decorated with a frame in the same limestone. The first oven compartment, with slightly sloping floor, has a semicircular front side and measures 2.85 m by 4.15 m and is 1.85 m high. Small channels cross the floor to drain off infiltration water.
On the four smooth, almost sanded walls, we can see shaped frames created with a surprising fine art and some remains of equidistant parallel vertical line paintings which were supposed to have a symbolic meaning linked to funeral rites.
Apart from La Marmora, some of the first to break the news about these monuments included Bresciani in 1861 and Spano in 1864.
