Dolmen de Ca na Costa
Dolmen de Ca na Costa, Prehistoric burial site in Formentera, Spain.
The megalithic structure features a central chamber with six tall limestone blocks arranged in an elliptical shape, surrounded by three concentric stone circles.
Built between 2040 and 1740 BCE during the Bronze Age, this passage grave contained remains of eight individuals along with ceramic vessels and ornaments.
The discovery of Ca na Costa dolmen in 1974 changed understanding of Formentera's early settlement, proving human presence predated previously known Punic civilization.
Located between La Savina and Es Pujols near Estany Pudent lagoon, visitors can reach the archaeological site via the Pm-V-820-2 road at kilometer 3.
The burial chamber includes a distinctive entrance corridor with parallel stone rows that widen toward the interior, ending in a rectangular stone aperture.
