Alignement d'Apazzu
The Alignement d'Apazzu is located on the right bank of the Avena, around 1 km southwest of Palaggiu between Sartène and Tizzano in the Corse-du-Sud department on Corsica . The region is home to the largest collection of stone rows in the Mediterranean.
The Bronze Age Alignement d'Apazzu comprised about two dozen menhirs , some of which were re-erected in 1974 during the excavation by Roger Grosjean (1920-1975). Nine remained on site, but were overgrown by maquis in 2009 . Two of them (Apazzu 1 and 2) are statue menhirs . The larger one is engraved with a long sword, the smaller one with its head tilted to the side that of a short sword.
The remains of a Bronze Age castle are said to lie above the alignment .
