Skeleton Heel Stone

Template:Location infobox The Skeleton Heel Stone (骸骨の踵石 Gaikotsu no Kakato Ishi) is a large ancient stone arena featured in Part II: Battle Tendency. Situated 10 roman miles from St. Moritz (Switzerland), at the foot of Piz Berlina, it was chosen by Wamuu as the final battleground between him and Joseph Joestar. It appears for the first time in the chapter 96 of the manga and the episode 21 of the anime.

The arena is an antique stone circle with a large torch in the center and four pillars surrounding it with only one column along the route.
