Dolmen de Santa Elena

The megalithic structure consists of large stone slabs forming a burial chamber positioned at the entrance of Valle de Tena.

Archaeological excavations in 1931 revealed artifacts including arrowheads, necklaces, and flint knives dating back to approximately 3000 BCE.

The dolmen represents funeral practices of early pastoral communities who constructed similar structures throughout the Pyrenees region.

Located 4 kilometers north of Biescas, the site features informative panels and protective barriers to preserve the archaeological remains.

The site contains two dolmens, with the second structure rediscovered in 2018 beneath rubble at a former quarry location.
