Cavaglià stone circle, Stone circle in Cavaglià, Italy.
The Cavaglià stone circle is an archaeological site with multiple standing stones arranged in circular formation within the Giardini Giorgio Perotto. The structure includes several menhirs positioned according to a careful plan.
The stone circle dates to prehistoric times and likely served as a central gathering place for communities in northern Italy. Excavations near the site have revealed artifacts that shed light on the lives of these early inhabitants.
The stone circle shows how prehistoric people shaped their land and what role ritual sites held in their communities. Visitors can observe the careful arrangement of stones and understand how such monuments fit into daily life long ago.
The site is accessible through local tourism offices and archaeological associations that provide information about visits. It is wise to check opening hours and visit details in advance.
The stones may have been aligned with astronomical points, suggesting that early people tracked the movements of the sun and stars. This alignment reveals a basic connection between astronomy and ritual practice.
