Stonehenge is Britain's most important ancient monument and has been recognised as such throughout history.
One of the UK's most important tourist destinations, this megalithic wonder attracts about 900,000 visitors every year.
It is part of a massive Neolithic landscape and although there are many theories regarding why it was built its purpose remains unexplained.
It has been remodelled several times during its 6000 year history and in ancient times was believed to have been built by giants.
