Stonehenge, located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, is a prehistoric monument whose construction began around 3100 BC and evolved in several stages until around 1600 BC. The site initially consisted of a circular earthen wall with wooden or stone posts, which served as a cremation cemetery. Around 2500 BC, the iconic large sandstones were erected in the centre, creating an outer circle with lintels and an inner horseshoe-shaped arrangement, alongside smaller blue stones brought from Wales. In subsequent centuries, the blue stones were rearranged and the Avenue, a processional road, was built connecting Stonehenge to the River Avon. The purpose of Stonehenge remains subject to debate, with theories ranging from a temple and astronomical calendar to a cemetery or a monument to unite the people of ancient Britain. Its sophisticated construction, with meticulously connected stones transported from considerable distances, makes it a unique and important monument that offers insight into the beliefs and engineering skills of the Neolithic and Bronze Age eras.
