• Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju - The Anghelu Ruju Hypogeic Necropolis, unearthed in 1903, is situated in the rural area of Alghero.
  The tombs are categorized into two main types:
• Well-type tombs (earlier), noted for their irregular floor plans.
• Corridor-type tombs (later), generally organized in a T-shape or radial layout.
  The architectural details of these tombs are often enhanced with elements inspired by the domestic structures of the living, such as steps, pillars, cornices, false lintels, doors, and windows.
  Artifacts found at the site are linked to the Ozieri Culture (4200–3400 BCE), indicating the necropolis’s earliest use. Many tombs were subsequently reused during the Chalcolithic period (3600–2100 BCE).
  The Domus de Janas were externally sealed with stone slabs and have uncovered collective burials of individuals primarily positioned in a supine manner.
