Sassi Ritti, Prehistoric menhir site in Campo nell'Elba, Italy.
Four tall stone monoliths stand aligned in a north-south direction at an elevation of 327 meters near San Piero village.
The megalithic complex dates back to the second millennium BCE, representing one of the earliest human settlements on Elba Island.
Archaeological excavations near the monoliths revealed Sardinian obsidian tools and burial sites, indicating connections with Mediterranean civilizations.
The archaeological site remains accessible throughout the year, with guided night tours available during summer months from San Piero square.
The menhirs lack decorative elements or carved images, leading researchers to connect them with fertility rituals or warrior commemorations.
