Elephant's Rock

The Elephant's Rock is a large boulder of trachyte and andesite, eroded by the atmospheric agents that gave it the shape of an elephant.[1] It is about 4 meters high.

Elephant's Rock

The rock is located near Castelsardo, Sardinia,[2] to the left of the old road that led from the hamlet of Multeddu to the village of Sedini.

The Elephant's Rock has a great archaeological importance, because two domus de janas, ancient tombs dating back to the pre-nuragic period, have been carved inside.[3][4][5][6][7]
