Altar Rock of Sotto di S.Lorenzo.
Very close to the menir of Passo di Mezzaluna, at a lower level, there's a small valley, once site of a small lake. In the valley stands this Altar Rock with engraved cup and small drainage canal. It was probably used during ceremonies to receive liquids such as water, milk or blood from sacrifices.
