Setzu sa Domu de S'Orcu

The domus de janas stands isolated along the panoramic road leading to Giara, at just 150 m from the remains of the nuraghe S’Uraxi.

It is a small artificial cave carved out of a single round block of limestone. The oven-mouth shaped entrance provides access to a room stretching lengthwise and arranged into three funeral chambers or rooms.

Leaving from Setzu, follow the SP 5 for about 600 m. Turn right towards via Nuova Circonvallazione and follow the road for about 1.3 km. Turn slightly right for the view and continue for about 500 m until you find the site on your left.
