Statue menhir of Mollet, Archaeological menhir in Mollet del Vallès, Spain.

The statue menhir stands 4.90 meters tall, measures 68 centimeters in width, and weighs approximately 6 tons, constructed from arkose stone.

Found in April 2009 during parking lot construction at Pla de les Pruneres site, buried 8 meters deep in sediments dating to late Neolithic period.

The menhir features carved details including eye irises on its front face and M-shaped engravings on its back, showing advanced craftsmanship techniques.

The original menhir remains at Can Mulà library courtyard, while visitors can view an exact replica at Pruneras Park where it was discovered.

The arkose stone material originates from Serralada Litoral or Figaró mountain, indicating deliberate transport from distant quarries to its installation site.
