Stone town of Kuklica

There are two main legends surrounding the formation of the strange stone pillars in Kuklica.

When she saw her future husband marrying another woman, she cursed all in attendance at the wedding and turned them into stone.

[3] Aside from mystic stories and legends, the earth pyramid in Kuklica was formed as a result of natural erosion processes in the Holocene, during the past 100,000 years.

Differences in the erodibility of the volcanic rocks of the area are the main factor for the pillars creation.

Thus, soft tuffs rocks on the base are overlaid by solid, sturdy andesites and ignimbrites on the top, which are nearly 30 million years old.
