Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world. It consists of a circular arrangement of massive standing stones, set within a larger ceremonial landscape. Stonehenge was built in several stages between roughly 3000 and 1500 BC and is located in southern England. Its purpose is still partly unknown, but it is widely associated with ritual, astronomy, and ancient beliefs. Today, Stonehenge is one of the most visited historical sites in the United Kingdom, and since 1986 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site \u201cStonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posizione<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stonehenge si trova nella piana di Salisbury, nella contea del Wiltshire, nell'Inghilterra meridionale, circa 13 km a nord di Salisbury e a circa 140 km a sud-ovest di Londra. Il monumento sorge in aperta campagna, circondato da praterie ondulate e altri resti preistorici. La stazione pi\u00f9 vicina \u00e8 Salisbury, con treni diretti da Londra Waterloo (circa un'ora e mezza). Dalla stazione di Salisbury l'autobus Stonehenge Tour porta al centro visitatori. Stonehenge si raggiunge facilmente anche in auto dalla A303; il parcheggio del centro visitatori \u00e8 a pagamento per i non soci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perch\u00e9 \u00e8 famoso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stonehenge is famous for the size and weight of its stones. The largest sarsen stones weigh about 25 tonnes and came from West Woods near Marlborough, about 25 km to the north, while the smaller \u201cbluestones\u201d were brought from the Preseli Hills in west Wales, more than 200 km away. In 2024, scientists showed that the Altar Stone at the centre came from north-east Scotland. The monument is aligned with the movements of the sun: the most famous alignment is with the summer solstice sunrise and the winter solstice sunset, suggesting that Stonehenge played an important role in seasonal or ceremonial events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
