Accessibility of this place
The data comes from on-site surveys. Where there is no survey, no judgment appears: we prefer to say we don't know rather than give you unverified information.

The Menhir San Vincenzo is located in the heart of Giurdignano, in what is known as the Piazzetta del Menhir, just a few steps from the Byzantine crypt of San Salvatore. Standing about 3.50 meters tall, it is among the most imposing in the entire Salento area. The monolith, with a parallelepiped shape and a slightly tapered top, rests on an outcropping of rock and measures approximately 45 by 30 centimeters at the base. The surface, entirely covered in lichens, shows signs of millennia of erosion, with the face facing west particularly crumbled. To ensure its stability, the shaft has been reinforced with a metal band. Like the other "pietrefitte" of Salento, it was documented between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by scholars who first recorded the megaliths of the area, including Cosimo De Giorgi. Even today, the Menhir San Vincenzo is one of the most evocative testimonies of the "megalithic garden of Italy," the name by which Giurdignano is known for the exceptional concentration of dolmens and menhirs preserved in its territory.
