The majestic trilithons of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain

Imposing front view of Stonehenge's inner circle with its famous trilithons, structures formed by two vertical stones topped by a horizontal lintel. The sarsen megaliths, some weighing up to 25 tons, stand against a typically English sky streaked with white clouds. This unique architectural configuration, created over 4,500 years ago without the use of metals or wheels, continues to amaze engineers and archaeologists with the precision of its construction. The green lawn of Salisbury Plain surrounds this prehistoric sanctuary that attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year.
