Pedra Gentil, Megalithic tomb in Vallgorguina, Spain.

Pedra Gentil is a burial chamber made from large stones, with seven standing megaliths supporting a flat stone on top. The structure sits within a protected park near the coast of Catalunya.

This structure was built about 5000 years ago during the Neolithic period, when people began constructing with stone. It shows how early communities buried their dead and expressed their beliefs.

Local stories connect this dolmen to gatherings where people performed rituals in ancient times. These tales remain part of the area's folklore and shape how people think about the place.

The site is open year-round and located outdoors within an easy-to-reach park. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the ground is uneven and weather can change quickly.

A local scholar carried out one of the first restorations of a megalithic structure in the region during the mid-1800s. This early scientific work made the site important to local archaeology.
