The Menhir Crocecaduta, also known as Quattromacine after the name of the ancient medieval hamlet on which it stands, is located along the municipal road Ore, between Giuggianello and Giurdignano, amidst centuries-old olive trees. It was identified in 1979 by the Centro di Cultura Sociale di Giuggianello.
The monolith, a single block of Lecce stone about 4 meters long, with main faces 45 centimeters wide and a thickness of 22, is now toppled and lying on the ground, against a dry stone wall. At its summit, there is a hollow: the site of a cross raised in Christian times to "exorcise" the pagan monument, hence the name "Croce Caduta." For some time, there has been no trace of the Christian symbol, the cross is now lost.
The menhir is located in the heart of a true megalithic park: all around, between Giuggianello and Giurdignano, other monuments can be found such as the Dolmen Stabile, the Dolmen Quattromacine, the Dolmen Ore, and the Menhir Polisano.
