What you can expect
Long before the great civilisations of Greece and Rome, the ancient people of Sardinia honoured a profound and powerful truth: that life, death and rebirth were governed by the sacred feminine. This immersive tour from Cagliari invites you to step into that world — a world where women were not marginalised but revered, where the goddess was not a myth but a living presence carved into the very rock of the earth.
Your expert English-speaking guide will accompany you from Cagliari through the gentle landscapes of orchards and vineyards to the small agricultural town of Pimentel, where two extraordinary sites await: the Domus de Janas of Corongiu and the Necropolis of De S'acqua Salida, dating back to approximately 3200 BC.
The Domus de Janas — literally 'Houses of the Fairies' in Sardinian — are a series of remarkable underground chambers carved directly into the living rock with extraordinary precision, using only the most basic of tools. These are not merely tombs. They are sacred spaces, thresholds between the world of the living and the world of the dead, designed with deep spiritual intentionality by a culture that understood death not as an ending but as a passage.
The walls of the Domus are adorned with extraordinary spiral engravings — one of the most ancient and universal symbols of feminine power, cyclical renewal and the mysteries of the cosmos. Your guide will explore the many layers of interpretation surrounding these symbols, from archaeological scholarship to the enduring spiritual traditions that connect them to the divine feminine across cultures and centuries.
This is more than an archaeological tour. It is an invitation to reconnect with an ancient lineage of feminine wisdom, to stand in spaces where the sacred and the earthly meet, and to feel the quiet power of a civilisation that placed the goddess at the very centre of its understanding of life and death.
