Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England about eight miles out of Wiltshire and north of Salisbury,it is one of the most famous monuments in the world. Stonehenge is a large group of standing rocks in a circular setting.
The stones are aligned almost perfectly with the sunrise on the summer solstice, it is almost unquestioned that Stonehenge was built as a spectacular place of worship. although the religion and faith that is was built for remains unknown, and the sight has become a pilgrimage destination for many pagan religions.
Stonehenge attracts over 800,000 persons per year, and several thousand to see the sunrise on the sunrise of the summer solstice (picture 2). The currently standing stones are only part of the original Stonehenge, the original stones have been damaged and worn down by weather and time.
