The Giants' grave of Coddu 'Ecchju is a Nuragic-era archeological site located in the municipality of Arzachena.
It is one of the most impressive and best preserved monuments of the prehistoric age.
The tomb is one of the oldest in Sardinia, dating back to 2500 BC.
The huge stere is over 4 meters high, placed in the center of the exedra, which decrees the space for rites and ceremonies.
The funeral corridor, where the dead were buried, is about 11 m long and covered with large stone slabs arranged in a jack arch.
The stems with the hatch at the base, represent the door to the kingdom of the dead, the passage to the Hereafter.
The Giants' graves were the collective tombs from the Bronze Age and can be found throughout Sardinia, with 800 being discovered by now.
