Dolmen de Dalí, Group of sculptures in Salamanca District, Madrid, Spain.

The monument features a granite dolmen structure reaching 43 feet in height, with an oval rock positioned horizontally on three carved pillars.

In 1985, Madrid City Council commissioned Salvador Dalí to create this public artwork, which was completed and inaugurated in 1986.

The central bronze figure contains dual pendulums and stands on a black granite pedestal marked with 'Gala' on all four sides.

The monument stands at the end of Felipe II Avenue, with direct access from Goya metro station on lines 2 and 4.

The sculpture incorporates elements from Dalí's 1969 Homage to Newton and his 1949 painting Phosphene de Laporte into a monumental public installation.
