    Tips

    September 3, 2024

    At the entrance to the town of Cavaglià, on the provincial road to Biella, there is probably the largest archaeological site of menhirs in Piedmont. It was only recently (2005) identified and improved at the suggestion of a scholar from Turin. The current circular arrangement of the stones, which form a grouping called "Cromlech", probably repeats their original arrangement. It has been established that the menhirs date back at least to the Iron Age. Like other prehistoric monuments, they still pose interpretative problems that are not easy to resolve regarding their existence and meaning. What is certain is that they are the tangible sign of a new desire of Western man to erect monuments that are destined to last through time.
