The Sass da Preja Buia, or Sass de Preja Buia, is located in Sesto Calende, near the Oratory of San Vincenzo, along the Hidden Wonders itinerary. It is a large erratic boulder (i.e. a block of rock that was transported to the valley floor by a glacier) dating back to the last glaciation of the Neozoic. Made up of a bright greenish rock, it still features numerous graffiti made in prehistoric times: it can be assumed that the boulder was used as a sacrificial altar. Other erratic boulders found nearby have other graffiti. The Boulder is also a strong magnetic point; if you approach it with a compass, it will start spinning in all directions like crazy.

I suggest arriving with some information on "erratic boulders" like this to fully enjoy their nature and rarity.

The gigantic erratic boulder of Preja Buia bears some writings that are thought to be symbolic petroglyphs. These suggest that it was a sacrificial altar from prehistoric times. Next to the large boulder there are two other smaller ones, also probably dating back to the same era.

Located between Angera and Sesto Calende, Taino stands out for its rich history that spans the Bronze Age and Roman traces. Its breathtaking panorama extends from Lake Maggiore to Monte Rosa. In the heart of the village are the church of Santo Stefano and the oratory of San Giovanni Battista.
