|
Period of Corsican megaliths
|
The statue menhirs of U Cantonu (also called Pila-Canale statue-menhirs) stand on the road north of Pila-Canale in the Corse-du-Sud department in Corsica in France .
The larger statue menhir belongs to the "Statue-menhirs Méridionales Armées" (menhirs of the southern army - level 5 according to Roger Grosjean ). The complex is dominated to the west by the Punta di Orcu and the Monte Revincu, where a large megalithic complex was once located. Dolmens still exist, such as the Casa di l'Orcu (or Orca) and Santo-pietra-di-Tenda and others that have been reused in homes.
The Settiva dolmens are also nearby .
