Perdas Longas, Prehistoric menhir site in Guspini, Italy.

Perdas Longas consists of two pink granite menhirs standing in an agricultural field near Guspini's industrial area. The taller one, called Sa Sennoredda, is 2.6 metres high, stocky with rounded curves and cup marks carved on several faces. The second menhir, 1.8 metres tall, is more slender with a pointed top and leans noticeably.

The menhirs date to the Ozieri culture between 3200 and 2800 BCE, a key period of prehistoric settlement in Sardinia. They reflect the religious practices and worldview of these ancient communities.

Locals call the taller menhir Sa Sennoredda, 'the young lady' in Sardinian, while the shorter one is linked to the Bull God. A legend tells that the two stones are lovers surprised while fleeing to realize their forbidden love. The menhirs keep their original votive function.

The two menhirs stand in an agricultural field near Guspini's industrial area, in the province of Medio Campidano. Access is via rural tracks, so ask at the Guspini municipal office about current conditions before setting out. The nearby Domus de Janas di Bruncu Maddeus can be visited on the same outing.

The cup marks are carved on several faces of Sa Sennoredda, the taller menhir, not on both stones. A local legend says Sa Sennoredda and her companion were two lovers caught as they tried to flee to live their forbidden love.
