Settiva dolmen
The dolmen of Settiva (also called Calzola-Castellucciu Protohistorique Site or Petreto-Bicchisano) is located south of Bicchisano near the N196 (road) in the Corse-du-Sud department in Corsica in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
The well-preserved dolmen is located near a large menhir and is surrounded by the dense edge stones of the excavated hill. It consists of the only two remaining stones carrying a capstone and other remaining bearing stones.
The N196 from Ajaccio to Propriano is notorious for its serpentines. Replicas of dolmens and menhirs are placed at the entrance to Petreto-Bicchisano.
