Antequera Dolmens Site
Located at the heart of Andalusia in southern Spain, the
site comprises three megalithic monuments: the Menga and Viera dolmens
and the
Tholos of El Romeral, and two natural monuments: La PeΓ±a
de los Enamorados and El Torcal mountainous formations, which are
landmarks within the property. Built during the Neolithic and Bronze Age
out of large stone blocks, these monuments form chambers with lintelled
roofs or false cupolas. These three tombs, buried beneath their
original earth tumuli, are one of the most remarkable architectural
works of European prehistory and one of the most important examples of
European Megalithism.
