Filitosa
The most celebrated prehistoric site in Corsica, Filitosa is
worth a visit for its megalithic menhir statues, which have been
carved to represent human faces or armed figures. The purpose of
these granite structures is still unclear, and many mysteries
surround the many ancient structures on the site. Filitosa V, with
its sword and dagger, the face of Filitosa IX, and the five menhir
statues around the foot of a 1,200-year old olive tree, are the
most important structures of the prehistoric site of Filitosa. A
small museum offers further menhirs, as well as some ancient tools
and pottery found in the caves, dating back to 3,300 BC. It takes
about 45 minutes to walk through the whole site.
