Su Crastu de Santu Eliseu
Su Crastu de Santu Eliseu ( German "The Stone of Sant Elia" ) is located on the slopes of Monte Santo near Mores in the province of Sassari in Sardinia .
The massive, misshapen stone of Sant Elia initially housed rock tombs Domus de Janas . The domus de Janas in the boulder had different rooms and window openings. The monument was redesigned in early Christian times, as can be seen from the orientation of the windows and an altar. Its use has changed over time; it was later a hermitage and an early Christian church.
Su Crastu de Santu Eliseu is somewhat similar to Campu Luntanu and Paesanu . Unlike the many structures carved out of a rock face, these were also created in a monolith that had been detached from a steep wall. The same phenomenon applies to the Dwarfie Stane on the island of Hoy in the Scottish Orkney .
