Longar, Megalithic monument in Navarre, protected archeological heritage

Longar is a prehistoric burial site in Viana featuring underground chambers and corridors carved directly into bedrock. The complex sits at about 708 meters elevation in the Navarra region and reveals how ancient communities engineered their burial spaces.

This burial site originates from prehistoric times and documents the burial practices of communities living in the Viana-Mendabia region. The location was later recognized as a cultural monument and remains protected today.

The name reflects the underground nature of the monument, and visitors experience it as a quiet place of remembrance for ancient communities. The burial chambers show how prehistoric people honored their dead and expressed their connection to the land.

Access to the archaeological site is restricted and requires advance permission from local authorities. Visitors should contact the authorities in Viana to arrange a visit in advance.

Researchers discovered skeletal remains and artifacts spanning multiple prehistoric periods within the burial chambers. This mix of finds suggests the site was used by different generations over a long span of time.
