Petre de la Mola, Rock formation and archaeological site in Gallipoli Cognato Park, Italy
Located at 1049 meters above sea level, Petre de la Mola features multiple calcareous rock blocks formed through natural erosion processes.
Archaeological excavations at Monte Croccia uncovered Bronze Age pottery fragments and petroglyphs, indicating prehistoric human presence in the area.
The winter solstice on December 21st brings archaeologists and scholars to study the astronomical alignments of this megalithic complex.
The site spans across multiple municipalities, including Oliveto Lucano and Accettura, with hiking trails providing access to the rock formations.
The megalithic structure functions as a stone calendar, marking solstices and equinoxes through precise solar alignments.
