Visited: Would like to visit
Filitosa Central Monument submitted by nicoladidsbury on 9th Jun 2004. Corsica
On road D57 north of Propriano
Filitosa, the mysterious, and most celebrated prehistoric site on Corsica. There are six menhir statues aligned on the central monument, with steps leading up to the highest point. This enclosure is thought to have been a temple. The statues have carved human faces, wearing helmets and some carry weapons. In fact some of the statues are very phallic, and its suggested they may have been used to encourage fertility of the land.

Palaggiu Alignement submitted by nicoladidsbury on 3rd Sep 2004. Alignements de Palaggiu
The alignments stretch across the countyside like a battleground of soldiers. The site is close to the sea and there is a theory that the statues were some sort of magical deterrent to invaders.
