El cercle / The circle

El famós monument megalític de Stonehenge, al sud d'Anglaterra.

 

El conjunt està format per dos tipus de pedres; les petites, anomenades bluestones, son les més antigues, i posteriorment va construir-se el gran anell de megalits anomenats sarsen stones. El més curiós és que les bluestones provenen de Gal·les, a centenars de km de distancia!

The most famous megalith in the world, Stonehenge.

 

The complex is formed by two kinds of stones. The smaller, older ones are the bluestones where put there first; in a second phase, they erected the great sarsen stones. But the curious fact is that the bluestones come from Walles!
