    It was found on 2 January 1978 in San Sidero by Luigi Corsini. This dolmen has an irregular polygonal shaped covering slab up to 60 centimeters thick, supported by four orthostats, three partially monolithic with supporting stones, the other of dry overlapping lithic material, which rest on an outcrop rock bank. . Observing the photo of the time, the megalith differs from the surveys carried out by Corsini due to a dry stone structure, then leaning against it, today partially collapsed.

    Inserted in the collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - Located on the edge of the road, it is clearly visible but not much appreciated. Let's not forget that dolmens are archaic elements that must be observed without touching them or worse climbing on them. They are the history and heritage of Salento.

    Discovered by Luigi Corsini in 1978. Its covering slab has a particular polygonal shape on which there are several cupels, also in this case probably intended for cultic use. Its name originates from the presence of some mirrors scattered in the area, of which today, unfortunately, there is no longer any trace.
