Megalithic complex on a hill, including 2 stone forts and rock shelters. The stone fort on the summit is rather ordinary one but the one on the southern slope has a splendid view of the Taravo river delta and the gulf of Valinco, the elephant rock and the strange pit.
The fort on the summit is easy to find but the southern fort obscured by 'maqui (=Corsican bush)'may be difficult to find, if you go down from the summit and find great rock shelters of Sapar'Alta, you took the eastern direction. get back and try to find the path to the south.
