Megalith with "rock art", located on the valley floor of the Bevera River. It sits at an altitude of 319 metres above sea level, rises to about 2 meters in height above the surrounding ground and is enclosed by a ring of markedly smaller stones (20 to 40 cm in diameter) at a distance by 50 to 100 cm from its base.
The described Megalith it is located in Velmaio, near Arcisate (The Bevera Valley, Varese Province, North Western Lombardy). The town, like the whole Ceresio Valley, is a part of the "Regio Insubrica" a Cross-Border Community with the status of Euro region, founded in 1995, which also includes the neighboring Canton Ticino (TI), a Republic of the Helvetic Confederation (CH).
