Elephant Rock (Rock of the Elephant)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Elephant Rock is located near the town of Castelsardo. This rock formation in trachyte has indeed the shape of an elephant. A small cave has been created at the base of this rock and it can be assumed that it was to serve as a tomb some 2000 years ago. Stylized engravings of stars are easily seen in the cavity.

Elephant Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

During the Neolithic period, which took place in Sardinia between the 6th and 3rd millennium BC. BC, unknown Stone Age peoples created small, approximately one cubic meter large chambers with rounded corners in the elephant rock, so-called Domus de Janas (Eng. fairy houses).
Scientists who undertook the first archaeological investigations suspect the rock tombs of a ruler about whom nothing is known so far. A relief depicting stylized bulls was found on the inner wall of one of the burial chambers.

On the way to Castelsardo you can easily plan the detour to the elephant stone. Located directly on the street (current July 2021 a construction site with an unsightly barrier).
