Rinaghju (also Renaghju) is a megalithic alignment on the Cauria plateau in the commune of Sartene, southern Corsica, part of a complex that includes the Stantari alignments and the Dolmen de Fontanaccia, the best-preserved dolmen in Corsica. The alignment consists of standing stones, menhirs, and granite statue-menhirs, evidence of human occupation from the Neolithic period onward. Research reveals occupation dating to 5700 BC, with approximately 60 menhirs erected around 4500 BC, eventually reaching 180 stones by the 1st millennium BC. The Sartene region contains the highest concentration of Corsica's over 900 menhirs.
