Paesanu

The two small Domus de Janas of Paesanu are located south of Ossi in the province of Sassari in Sardinia .

Paesanu has a certain resemblance to Campu Luntanu and Su Crastu de Santu Eliseu , which, unlike the many complexes carved out of rock walls , were created in a monolith that has detached itself from a steep wall. The same phenomenon applies to the Dwarfie Stane on the island of Hoy in the Scottish Orkney .

In the distribution of the facilities, which are located in the south of Ossi on an area of ​​about three square kilometers, it is noticeable that 39 of the 44 Domus de Janas are distributed over six necropolises ( Mesu 'e Montes , S'Adde e Asile and S'Isterridolzu) , two each are in Nannareddu and Paesanu, while one is isolated in Su Littigheddu.
