Dolmen de Alberite, Megalithic burial structure in Villamartín, Spain.

The Dolmen de Alberite contains a 23-meter-long gallery with large stone walls and features numerous decorative elements on its massive stones.

Archaeological excavations in 1993 revealed this 6000-year-old structure following an investigation by the Guardia Civil into a case of tomb looting.

The interior walls display numerous painted and engraved symbols, including representations of weapons, moons, suns, and human figures in ochre pigments.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site from Sevilla by taking the A-382 highway toward Villamartín, with a distance of approximately 43 kilometers.

The excavation uncovered two human remains with bones covered in red ochre powder, accompanied by stone tools and a 20-centimeter quartz crystal.
