Close to the Genovese tower of Caldano cape, a huge broken statue with eyes is rolling.
Only Daniel Riba (1979) "Mystère des Statues-Menhirs de Corse" ISBN:2221002105 regards this as a statue-menhir, other documents ignore it. Too large, too simple and too eccentoric location as a statue-menhir... Another 2 eyes were dug on a bedrock of opposite side of the tower.
