Private tour: Traveling between Dolmen and Menhir
Duration
2 hours
Overview
-
The Association is part of a context of promotion of the territory by proposing a guided tour of dolmens, menhirs and underground structures in Giurdignano, called the "Megalithic Garden of Italy".
Between the historic center and the surrounding countryside there is the highest concentration of megalithic monuments in Italy, which have represented places of worship since prehistoric times.
The excursion lasts about 2 hours and takes place on foot, respecting sustainable tourism. The departure is scheduled near the San Paolo menhir, a unique witness of a syncretism between Christian, pagan and ancestral worship. Two wonders of stone are offered to visitors in an exceptional way because they are normally closed to the public: the Byzantine crypt of San Salvatore (8th century) and the underground oil mill "Trappitello del Duca" (16th century). The visit ends with the discovery of the dolmen Li Scusi in Minervino, majestic and imposing for its architecture.
