Filitosa, archeological protohistoric site located on the commune of Sollacaro, in South Corsica, which, occupied over a very long period, includes/understands in particular inscribed menhirs as well as vestiges of civilization known as "torrean".

The oldest period corresponds at the end of the Neolithic era and the beginning of the age of Bronze until towards 1500 before J-C. It is represented by a certain number of menhirs.
The second period also belongs to the megalithic civilization which, since 1500, created anthropomorphes menhirs undoubtedly representing defunts then real pillars statues whose face is sometimes very carefully carved.

Lastly, at the beginning of the first millenium, at the time when the age of Bronze finishes, representations of daggers and long swords with rectilinear pommel in form of T, sometimes supported by a cross-belt, appear on the menhirs. They testify to the social importance taken by the warriors.

At that time, the area of Filitosa is occupied by Torreans, who transforms in a fortress a spur barred by a cyclopean enclosure. They build there famous "torre", circular monuments from 6 to 8 m high, composed of a central room with vault in corbelling and access passages covered with large flagstones. A certain number of menhirs of the former periods then were split up and re-used like building materials.

About twenty menhirs of various times were counted in Filitosa. They constitute approximately half of the total staff of these monuments in Corsica.
