Menhir de Puig ses Forques, Prehistoric menhir in Calonge i Sant Antoni, Spain.

The granite menhir stands 2 meters tall, 1 meter wide, and 0.7 meters thick on a hill near the Mediterranean coast.

Discovered fallen at the beginning of the 20th century, the menhir was repositioned in 1958 under the direction of historian Lluís Esteve i Cruañas.

The stone structure features 19 ceremonial cup marks and served as a territorial marker or ritual site for Neolithic communities.

The menhir sits between highway C-31 and the Mediterranean Sea, accessible through a 3-kilometer trail starting from the town center.

A nearby dolmen contains archaeological findings including bell-beaker pottery fragments, human bones, flint chips, and steatite necklaces.
