Rock Art in Tessin

Rock (base of the chapel) dimension 1,8-2,3 x 0,6-1,4 m with 36 cup marks of 2 - 10 cm Ø and 1 - 5 cm depth, partly connected to gutters.

The rock is in direct contact with the Chapel "Capèla dala Barèla" erected, according to popular memory, on the place where the dead, victims of a pestilence, were buried. On my second visit, on 28th October, the setting sun shone on the stone.
