The Stone of the Witches is a large natural stone with a large central crack that divides it into two halves. On this stone you can see a lot of medieval engravings - more than 50 crosses, 9 horseshoes, 6 bowls, various circles and other figures. According to legend, these marks were made by witches who were at odds with the Baron of Savassona. It seems that the Baron of Savassona was connected to the Inquisition and the witches wanted to send him a warning.

It is a large stone with a central cleft that divides it into two halves, which has a great density and diversity of engravings. There are more than a hundred representations: fifty cruciform elements dominated by the Latin cross topped with small bowls at the ends; nine horseshoes; six casseroles; several circles; and other figures among which stand out two V-shaped, two 8-shaped, and three combinations of peculiar elements. The variety of motifs and techniques used do not allow defining a single meaning or a single chronology. The most frequent chronological attributions range from the Bronze Age to the medieval period.
