Dolmen Della Biscia

Engraved footprints on the platform over the Bric Della Biscia

This dolmen, filled of sacred engravings, is one of many sacred artifacts in a valley of the sacred mountain called Beigua. This mountain was very important for ancient Ligurians. The dolmen has lost his roof-stone, wich can be found next to it. and is laid near a river and a lake with the same name “della biscia” that means “river (or lake) of the water snake”.

Dolmen Della Biscia

Here you can see the entrance of the dolmen with two big stones on the sides and one on the back.

not such a great picture but can you see the stylized man (with arms and legs) inscribed between a space made by three lines ?

Here it’s shown where the ancients put their offerings or lit their candles

strange head with strange eye on it
