Dolmen El Mellizo, Prehistoric burial structure near La Aceña de la Borrega, Spain
The dolmen features an oval chamber constructed with eight stone supports and measures approximately 3.0 by 3.6 meters with a height of 2.5 meters.
Archaeological excavations in 1985 led by Primitiva Bueno Ramírez revealed funeral items including ceramic fragments and arrowheads dating from the 4th to 3rd millennium BC.
The structure belongs to the Dolmens of Valencia de Alcántara complex, designated as a cultural heritage site in 1992, representing ancient funeral customs.
The site remains accessible throughout the year through a marked path from La Aceña de la Borrega, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable visiting conditions.
The name El Mellizo references a second identical dolmen that once existed nearby but has since disappeared from the archaeological record.
