Inserted in the collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - Enhanced on the edge of an intersection it is clearly visible. Let's not forget that menhirs are archaic elements that must be observed without touching them. They are the history and heritage of Salento.

The monolith is composed of a soft block of limestone. On the west-facing façade, a graffitied cross is still visible, symbol of the Christianization process.
Height: 3.30 meters
