Necropoli Ispiluncas

Photo by Andrea Mura

The site lies at just 200 metres from the archaeological site of Iloi.

It is a vast necropolis with at least 33 hypogea. Only 2 and 3 of the many tombs are completely open to the public. Tomb 2 is preceded by a large dromos and has 13 rooms. The room which stands out the most is one with a semi-circular, sloping roof-shaped, carved ceiling with relief beams and semi-circular lunette in the highest point of the ceiling, it too created in bas relief. There is also clear evidence of different traces of ochre red painting.

The necropolis can be reached along a pebble path which starts in the square behind the Iloi archaeological site.
