| The foundation of the Phoenician town was accompanied by that of the tohpet, that is a particular form of necropolis and sanctuary typical of the Phoenician-Punic civilization in the Western Mediterranean sea. An open air sacred area where only the ashes of dead born babies or children were buried. The tophet of Sant’Antioco is a monument able to excite strong emotions, since the copies of many urns have been left in the place of their finding. |
