Pallaghiu

Pallaghiu, also known as Paddaghju or Palaghju, is an archaeological site featuring hundreds of standing stones arranged in long parallel rows across rolling terrain. Some of these stones bear carved figures with weapons and other motifs, making them remarkable examples of megalithic art. The site is believed to have originated from prehistoric times and is a great place to reflect on the way life might have been in another era. With 258 megaliths and 70 menhirs, it is the largest array of menhirs and megaliths to be found in the Mediterranean region. Visitors can walk among the stones and take in the landscape as it naturally appears, exploring the deliberate organization that shaped daily and ceremonial life. The site also features overlooked details like shallow grooves and cup marks that may have served practical or ceremonial functions
