Beautiful dolmen about 70 cm high, a pity that around there is not due respect for this ancient megalith: behind it a pile of concrete bricks (once a fence) but above all at the entrance to the field that hosts ignorance of man is its master 😞 ...

Salento Bike Trail

Inserted in the collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - Located on a private farm, it is still easily accessible from the secondary road adjacent to the provincial road that leads to Melendugno.

The grooves present on the Dolmen Placa (located a few meters in the direction of Calimera) and the small hole in the center of the covering slab of the Dolmen Gurgulante immediately make one think of a place dedicated to ritual sacrifices, rather than a burial place as often it has been hypothesized.
