Dólmenes de Valencia de Alcántara, Neolithic burial site in Valencia de Alcántara, Spain
The archaeological complex contains 55 dolmens constructed from granite and slate stones, forming one of the largest megalithic concentrations in western Europe.
The megalithic structures date back to the 4th and 3rd millennia BC, containing funeral objects including arrowheads, axes, necklace beads, and various idols.
The term dolmen originates from Breton language meaning stone table, referring to structures made of vertical orthostats supporting horizontal capstones.
Five established routes guide visitors through different megalithic sites: Tapias, Zafra, Las Lanchas, Huertas de las Monjas, and Los Mellizos.
The archaeological site received cultural heritage status in 1992, with 33 dolmens built in granite and 8 in slate, while 14 structures disappeared over time.
