It is about 300 years old. It seems that during the Bourbon domination the bandits used to meet under its branches. It is 23 meters high with a circumference of 41 meters

The grooves present on the Dolmen Placa and the small hole at the center of the covering slab of the Dolmen Gurgulante (located a few meters in the direction of Melendugno), immediately make one think of a place dedicated to ritual sacrifices, rather than a burial place as has often been hypothesized.

The name of the Menhir derives from the griko and means "Big Cross". In 1880 Cosimo De Giorgi described it with larger dimensions than its current one. It was demolished several times due to an ancient legend linked to a treasure hidden at the foot of the monolith.

The Menhir was discovered by Oreste Caroppo in 1993. The monolith is distinguished from other Menhirs by two quite evident characteristics, its bicuspid top and a square cavity on one of the main facades. Height: 1.25 meters
