Necropoli di Corona Moltana
The Nuragic necropolis of Corona Moltana in northwest Sardinia is a significant testament to pre-Nuragic burial culture in the historic Logudoro region.
The necropolis of Corona Moltana is a fascinating archaeological site, located on a rocky outcrop at the edge of a plateau in the picturesque landscape of Logudoro. It bears witness to the deep-rooted history and burial rituals of Sardinia's ancestral societies, who honored and interred their dead here for millennia.
