Domus de Janas by Birghines
The Domus de Janas of Birghines (also called "Sas Birghines") by Borbore is a prehistoric rock grave in the granite rock on the western slopes of Monte Ortobe in Nuoro in the province of Nuoro in Sardinia .
The square inner courtyard of the Domus de Janas ( German houses of the fairies ), also known as Necropoli ipogeica , was originally the main chamber, the ceiling of which collapsed. Access is via a granite arch and from the chamber to two side chambers of the Domus, one of which is square and accessible via an architecturally designed facade with a door with a frame. The other is irregular in shape and has a deformed entrance and a crack in the ceiling.
