The recognition bestowed on the Su Crucifissu Mannu Necropolis in Porto Torres, along with 16 other archaeological and naturalistic sites on the island, is the fruit of the tireless work carried out over the years by the group of experts and technicians who collaborated with the Region, municipalities, local communities, and the MiC. This team, coordinated by Professor Tanda and CESIM, has enabled this project to achieve a truly historic milestone for Sardinia's archaeological heritage. Thank you all.

This was stated by Maria Bastiana Cocco, Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Porto Torres, the day after the official recognition of the underground tombs by the World Heritage Committee, meeting in Paris for its 47th session, which declared them a World Heritage Site.

Among the 17 sites is also that of Su Crocifissu Mannu, the five-hectare funerary complex located at the entrance to the city, composed of twenty-two domus del janas dug into the rock, dating back to the period between the 3rd millennium BC and the 2nd BC.
