Holíč sanctuary, Archaeological sanctuary in Holíč, Slovakia.
The prehistoric circular sanctuary spans 60 meters in length and contains 25 stone monuments arranged in two distinct circles at different heights.
Discovered in 1988 during construction work, the sanctuary includes a central stone idol measuring 6.8 meters tall with carved symbols of tools and deities.
The stone formations include alternating wide stones representing feminine elements and tall slim stones representing masculine elements in ancient spiritual practices.
Since 1996, visitors can observe the menhirs displayed at the Craft House in Holíč, arranged to demonstrate an ancient solar clock system.
The French Academy of Sciences recognizes this location as the easternmost point in Europe containing authentic menhir structures.
