Dolmen de Santa Cruz, Neolithic passage grave in Cangues d'Onís, Spain.
Five large stone slabs and two smaller ones form a rectangular chamber situated at the confluence of Güeña and Sella rivers.
The funerary monument dates from 4000 BC, while King Favila built a chapel above it in 737 to house the wooden cross from Covadonga Battle.
Red paint traces with broken lines decorate the inner walls of the chamber, representing prehistoric artistic expressions of the region.
The site requires advance booking through the Cangues d'Onís Tourist Office and remains closed on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the year.
The structure allows visitors to stand upright inside the chamber, providing direct access to a prehistoric burial space within an active chapel.
