Poggio Pelliccia cont..

The monumental tomb is of a of a Tholos type.

When entering the visitor is presented with a "corridor", a long and impressive dromos which leads the way to the burial place. The former is uncovered for the first part and leads to a door, still composed by an impressive architrave, doorjamb and threshold.

The door leads to the second part of the tumuled and tunnel-like dromos, this time covered which leads to the quadrangularly shaped funerary chamber, where the burial took place.

The cupola is not to be seen anymore, however a presence of the latter in its original form can be presumed by the remains of a first set of stones which was part of the penditive structure of the tomb.
