Or the Menhir of Terrazzu (the location where it is located). A megalithic monument over 5 meters tall; its current height, however, is not its original height, as its top was damaged by lightning. It is said that it was planted in Terrazzu by the giantess Luxia, who was tasked with building a bridge between the island of Sant'Antioco and the mainland. Upon arriving, however, she saw that the bridge had already been built and, enraged, threw the boulder to the ground, where it can be seen today. In the small park where the menhir is located, there is also a bicycle repair and maintenance station sponsored by the Cammino di Santa Barbara, of which the monument is part.

The Terrazzu menhir, also known as Luxia Arrabiosa, is located not far from the village of Villaperuccio, in an agricultural area near the confluence of two rivers. The area boasts at least fifteen hard stone menhirs scattered around, as well as numerous evidence of Neolithic human presence, including the beautiful domus de janas necropolis of Montessu. Although damaged by lightning, the Terrazzu menhir is the most imposing in the area, reaching a height of over 5 meters. Its flat main face faces southeast, while its opposite face is semi-convex with rounded edges, resembling the shape of proto-anthropomorphic menhirs. One of the names by which it is known, Luxia Arrabiosa (Furious Lucy), refers to the protagonist of ancient Sardinian legends. She is often depicted as a woman or giantess who, angry at a wrong she has suffered, forcefully throws an object that sticks in the ground and turns to stone.

The Menhir Luxia Arrabiosa is more than five meters high and is located on the southwestern outskirts of the town of Villaperuccio. It was originally even taller but was struck and damaged by lightning.
