What you'll see
A 5-metre marble statue of a young man lying on its back in a shady garden near Melanes, left where the sculptors abandoned it; another lies up the hill in the old quarry.
A brief history
Sculptors carved statues roughly in the quarry in the 600s BC; this one probably broke, so it was never moved.
