		They are called like this because people used to think that they were lived by little magical nocturnal ladies but the domus de janas were, instead, collective graves, dug-out in the rock that had at least three cells joined by a small hall, dromos that lead to the tomb.
		As a matter a fact, people use to think that the deeds would keep on living after the death and for this reason a statue of the Dea Madre was placed inside the grave to protect them and the walls were stained with red paint.

		These communal burial grounds from the Neolithic period derive their curious name from the vivid imagination of the Sardinian people, who, observing the small spaces within the funeral chambers, thought that they were the abode of tiny mythical beings, known as “Janas”.
		In reality, they were ossuaries where skeletons of the dead were laid after the flesh had been stripped off.
		In Dorgali, there are 54 Domus, the majority excavated in basalt, though examples in granite and limestone can also be found.

		They tried to insure the fertility of their fields and the fecundity of their animals, by worshipping a female Divinity, a Goddess-Mother, which they represented in different ways, making small stone and earthen idols, that they also used to protect the dead.
		With this in mind, a visit to some of the hypogetic tombs, which are spread throughout the Island, called "Domus de Janas", fairies or witches houses according to folk lore, which are carved in rocks, in mountain faces, often in inaccessible places, is well worth while.
		The necropolis of Anghelu Ruju, in Alghero, offers the opportunity to explore dozens of funeral caves, some of which are decorated with a light coat of red paint and stylised bull's heads, symbols of male fertility that represent the continuity of life, which are often found in these type of burial tombs.

	History
		In the same age, historical studies have proved the development of a religion whose rites were inspired by the veneration of the Mother Goddess, symbol of life and fertility, and by the cult of the dead which were buried inside little tombs, called domus de janas or fairy houses, carried out digging in the rocks.
		The legend says that the janas were little nocturnal females, half fairies and half witches that never came out during the morning because afraid of burning their very delicate white skin.
		This explains why many Menhir have been found in front of important megalithic graves called Tombe dei Giganti that differentiate themselves from the little domus de janas because of their great size.
