Aizkomendi, Megalithic dolmen in Eguílaz, Álava, Spain.

The stone chamber of Aizkomendi measures three meters in height and width, covered by a substantial capstone within an earthen mound structure.

Discovered in 1832, the dolmen underwent multiple excavation phases in 1845 and 1872, revealing ancient human remains and artifacts from different periods.

Local inhabitants created narratives about witches using spinning wheels to transport the massive stones used in the dolmen construction.

The archaeological site maintains free access throughout the year, with designated parking spaces and information panels explaining its historical context.

Excavations uncovered unusual items including copper spearheads and buttons from a Napoleonic soldier's uniform, indicating varied usage across centuries.
