Dombate dolmen, Neolithic dolmen in Cabana de Bergantiños, Spain

The Dombate dolmen features a central chamber with nine orthostats and an entrance corridor, measuring 24 meters in diameter and 1.8 meters in height.

Constructed approximately 6,000 years ago during the Neolithic period, the monument underwent extensive archaeological excavations between 1987 and 1989, revealing ancient burial practices.

The dolmen contains preserved paintings and engravings on its interior walls, representing artistic expressions of prehistoric communities that inhabited northern Galicia.

The Archaeological Center of Dombate Dolmen offers free admission and guided tours from July to September, with opening hours from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The structure includes two different dolmens from separate time periods, both protected by a modern covering that preserves the funerary mound and chamber.
