Capula, Archaeological site and megalith in Levie, France

Capula is a stone structure built into a wooded slope at the end of the Cucuruzzu site, reached after about twenty minutes through the undergrowth. A curved wall of small pale stones stacked in horizontal courses stands on the left, with a gap opening onto a large smooth slab. To the right, rounded boulders covered in moss and lichen rest on the masonry, and a single narrow upright stone stands before the wall.

Capula forms part of the Cucuruzzu site in Corse-du-Sud. It is reached at the end of the walk through the site, after passing a Bronze Age fortified village, following about twenty minutes in the undergrowth. The site was classified as a monument historique in December 1990.

Each year on 9 August a pilgrimage to Saint Laurent is held at Capula, a tradition that keeps the site in local religious use. The walk to the casteddu passes a Bronze Age fortified village before reaching the stone enclosure in the woods.

The site sits on hilly ground and is accessible by foot, though the paths can be uneven. It is wise to wear sturdy shoes and plan visits during warmer months, as the location offers little shade.

The narrow upright stone in front of the masonry is a menhir, not a statue. It stands beside a wall of small pale stones stacked in courses, with rounded moss-covered boulders resting above. The site lies at the end of a walk through the woods, about twenty minutes from the Bronze Age fortified village of Cucuruzzu.
