Dolmen a Casa dos Mouros, Neolithic dolmen in Candéan, Spain.
The Casa dos Mouros dolmen consists of five vertical stone slabs forming walls with a heavy capstone resting on top of one slab.
Built between the late 5th and late 3rd millennium BCE, this megalithic structure served as a burial chamber during the Neolithic period in Galicia.
The name Casa dos Mouros refers to the Mouro, a mythological being connected to ancient stones and historical sites across Galicia.
The dolmen chamber measures three meters in length and two meters in width, with stone slabs reaching heights of up to two meters.
The Vigo City Council purchased the land containing the dolmen in September 1990 to prevent construction near this archaeological monument.
