Domus de Janas, meaning House of the Fairies in the local dialect, is a name for a type of Sardinianchamber tomb. They consist of several chambers quarried out by the Ozieri and Beaker cultures and resemble houses in their layout.
More than 1000 of the rock-cut tombs are known on the island. They date to the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. A necropolis of them at the site of Anghelu Ruju consists of 36 tombs some carved with bulls' heads.
A ''domus'' was the form of house in ancient Rome and all the cities of the Empire that rich patrician families owned.
Domus Dei (Hospital of Saint Nicholas) was an almshouse and hospice established in 1212 (in the town of Portsmouth) by Pierre des Roches the Bishop of Winchester.
The Domus Aurea was comprised of a series of villas and pavillions — open porticos to enjoy the artificial views created where the heart of Rome had recently been.
