The Tuvixeddu Necropolis



The Tuvixeddu Necropolis is the biggest and most extensive area of historical monuments in Cagliari. Visitors to the Necropolis can admire various sepulchres of great historic value, mainly of Phoenician and Punic origins. These tombs, which were used from the end of the VI to the III century B.C., are called "well" tombs, since they were accessible through a well, at the bottom of which was a chamber.
Some of the tombs of this Necropolis are decorated, among which the tomb of Ureo and the tomb of the "Combattente" (Warrior).
