This stone sculpture was described as a \u2018rock altar\u2019 because it is located in front of the church of Santo Stefano, after which the site is named. Nearby, in a thicket of Mediterranean scrub, lies a necropolis comprised of eight domus de Janas; all around, you will see rocks serving as alcoves: here, you will struggle to distinguish between the hand of man and that of nature.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;
