Reading a book about Llívia, I've remembered some messages in this
board about menhirs and others old stones who are actually boundary
markers.I think nobody has mentioned the stone of Llívia.

From the treaty of delimitation of Llívia:
"Border Stone 1: the first stone on the northeast side of the road from
Puigcerdà to Llívia, at the site called Pontarró d'en Xidosa, next to
the old stone wich had been the boundary of Llívia, Ur and Càldegues".

Actually this stone remains, is named "la pedra dreta", and it was
first, a prehistoric altar, then, in the roman era, a "milliarium", and
after, the tripoint of the municipalities of Llívia, Ur and Càldegues.
Perhaps the prehistorics knew that at this point, after many years, it
will be a boundary there!

I've found a photograph on the net, and I've attached it to this file.
