Conjunto Dolménico de El Pozuelo, Prehistoric burial site in Zalamea la Real, Spain

The archaeological complex contains eleven burial structures distributed across five distinct areas: Los Llanetes, La Veguilla, El Riscal, Los Rubios, and Martin Gil.

Archaeological excavations conducted in 1946 revealed a megalithic complex dating from 2500 to 2200 BCE, representing a significant period in prehistoric architecture.

The burial chambers feature different architectural configurations, including gallery-type dolmens with central supports and false dome structures built with vertical orthostats.

Access to the site starts at kilometer 43 of highway CN-435, following a path from the cemetery that circles the urban center before reaching the dolmens.

The complex includes external ritual elements such as ambulatories, altars, and stelae, constructed using local materials and diverse building techniques.
