Dolmen of Guadalperal, Archaeological site in El Gordo, Spain.
The Guadalperal Dolmen includes 150 granite stones arranged vertically, forming an ovoid chamber measuring 5 meters in diameter with a 21-meter access corridor.
German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier discovered this Neolithic monument during excavations between 1925 and 1927, documenting its archaeological importance for future generations.
This megalithic structure contains engravings depicting a snake and various marks on the menhir, representing the path of the Tagus River through the region.
The Dolmen remains submerged under the Valdecañas reservoir since 1963, becoming visible only during periods of severe drought when water levels decrease substantially.
Excavations near the monument revealed eleven axes, ceramics, flint knives, and a copper punch, along with Roman artifacts including coins and grinding stones.
