Palaggiu Alignement
Palaggiu Alignement submitted by nicoladidsbury : Alignements de Palaggiu The alignments stretch across the countyside like a battleground of soldiers. The site is close to the sea and there is a theory that the statues were some sort of magical deterrent to invaders. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Alignment in Corse

258 menhirs include three statue-menhirs with carved weapons and facial features, dating from around 1800 BCE.
