Archaeological sights in Corsica

  1. Filitosa

    The most important prehistoric site is Filitosa, northwest of Sartène, where a collection of extraordinary carved menhirs were discovered in 1946. The Filitosa menhirs are highly unusual: several have detailed faces, anatomical features (such as ribcages) and even swords and armour, suggesting that they may commemorate specific warriors or chieftains.
