    It was discovered in 2008 by the geologist Carles Roqué.

    Located about 60 m above the medieval town of Santa Creu de Rodes

    It is an ancient phallic-shaped upright stone, made of local granite, currently overturned, but probably close to its original location.

    the construction date corresponds to the second half of the IV millennium BC, this chronology is given by the relationship that can be made with the nearby megalithic complexes.

      Surefootedness and good shoes absolutely necessary. We did not find the menhir, apparently there were no safe walkable and Machia-free paths to the place with the sign. The family council finally voted in favor of a visit to the beach...

      The next menhir is ours ;)

        The views from here are great but the Menhir is not really much more than the sign. The hike up here is worth it for the views.
