Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in
To open a window on the megalithic constructions in the Azores Islands.
This modern monument stands on São Miguel Island, on the outskirts of Ponta Delgada, direction Lagoa, and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
It is now proven that the Azores islands were inhabited before their re-discovery in the 15th century. Just as examples, dolmen and cup-marks have been found on Terceira : http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=37436 (non vidi).
