Archaeological Ensemble of Antequera Dolmens, Neolithic burial site in Antequera, Spain

The Archaeological Ensemble of Antequera Dolmens contains three megalithic monuments: Menga, Viera, and El Romeral, featuring massive stone chambers and corridors.

Construction of these megalithic structures occurred during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, with the Dolmen of Menga dating back to approximately 3700 BCE.

The orientation of each monument aligns with natural landmarks: Menga faces La Peña de los Enamorados mountain while El Romeral points toward El Torcal formations.

Visitors can access all three dolmens through guided tours provided by the Archaeological Ensemble management, with specific opening hours varying by season.

The Menga dolmen contains an unusual feature for megalithic structures: a deep well shaft inside the chamber that reaches 19 meters in depth.
