FRANCE. CORSE-DU-SUD (2A) A PREHISTORIC RELIC NEAR SOTTA, IN THE SOUTH OF THE ISLAND, THE ORIU DI CANNI TELLS A CAPTIVATING STORY: IN PREHISTORIC TIMES, MEN USED THIS SURPRISING BLOCK OF STONE TOPPED WITH A LARGE POINTED CAP TO PROTECT THEIR ANIMALS OR BURY THEIR DEAD. LATER, IT SERVED AS A NATURAL SHELTER FOR CORSICAN SHEPHERDS ON THE TRANSHUMANCE ROUTES. OVER TIME, THE WIND AND SEA SPRAY HAVE GIVEN IT A SLIGHTLY MYSTICAL APPEARANCE.
