Pierre Turquaise

Pierre Turquaise is a Neolithic burial structure featuring a covered passage with stone walls on both sides and a roof made of large slabs. The passage runs horizontally and opens at one end, allowing access to the burial chamber inside.

The structure was built during the Neolithic period as a burial site for the local community. In the 1700s, it was converted to serve a different purpose before eventually being recognized as an archaeological monument.

The entrance pillars display carved motifs that reflect spiritual beliefs of Neolithic people. These artistic marks show how the community expressed their worldview through symbols carved in stone.

The site sits within a forest and is reached by marked walking trails that are easy to follow. You can best visit on foot by walking along the forest paths that lead to the location.

This was once the largest prehistoric monument in its region, considered so important that archaeologists created a full-scale replica for display in a national museum. The copy allows many more people to see how this ancient burial structure looked.
