Petre de la Mola is a natural limestone rock formation located within the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Regional Park, not far from the top of Monte Croccia.
The complex of rocks is believed to have been modified by man in the Bronze Age to be used as a "stone calendar" and, more precisely, to indicate both noon and the sunset of the winter solstice.

Thanks Peter for your comment!
It is truly a wonderful place, I live nearby, I ride a racing bike and seeing these things is only good!
