Visit Palaghju
Found near Tizzani, inland from Sartene, is the prehistoric site at Palaghju.
It is the largest array of menhirs and megaliths to be found in the Mediterranean region.
Dating back almost 4000 years, in total there are some 258 megaliths and 70 menhirs.
Only a few of the stones are carved, Filitosa style, and some have fallen down, but it remains an impressive alignment and a great place to reflect on the way life might have been in another time, and to speculate on what purpose the array originally served.
