Inserted in the Pietre del Salento collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento?ref=undefined - Located in the city center inside a courtyard of a building of 6th century now used as a cultural centre, it is accessible when the gate is open, I presume it is every day except at night.

In the past, the Menhir was part of a triptych of monoliths scattered throughout the Campi Salentina area. The third Menhir was represented by the Candide Menhir, which disappeared in the 1990s and was never found again. Some historians, in order to identify the three Menhirs, associated the names of the three Magi with them, giving the monoliths a decidedly mystical aura.
