Cut from a single stone this 197 yard long altar hosted many ceremonies in Roman times that were highlighted by animal sacrifices. The altar was designed to herd bulls to a platform, sacrifice the animals, allow their blood to pour through a duct work leading it from the celebration and finally roast the animals for a feast.
