The Park, one of the cultural sites of the city’s Museum System and the backdrop for numerous cultural initiatives, includes a domus de Janas necropolis (from c. 3700 B.C.) and the ancient Medau Sa Grutta, superimposed on it and used for temporary exhibitions and educational workshops. The necropolis is of great interest because of the variety of its architecture: some tombs possess a vertical shaft entrance (older), others a horizontal entrance (more recent), and others have both entrances due to remodeling that took place between the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. The continuity of life reaches to the present day, with the reuse of the tombs as shelters, storerooms, furnaces, and animal shelters by the inhabitants of Medau. The recommended route, along the hill, includes Tombs 25 and 3, the monumental Tomb 4, the hypogea at the foot of Medau, and finally Tomb 12, reconstructed in the Villa Sulcis Archaeological Museum displays and of great interest for its new findings.
