La Torre-La Janera megalithic site, Megalithic site in Ayamonte and Villablanca, Spain.

The archaeological complex contains over 500 standing stones spread across 600 hectares near the Guadiana River at the Spanish-Portuguese border.

Archaeological investigations began in 2018 when a farmer's plan to create an avocado plantation led to the discovery of stones dating from 6000-5000 BCE.

The site features multiple stone alignments and two circular formations placed on elevated areas, indicating early human understanding of celestial movements.

The excavation project continues until 2026, with designated visiting areas allowing people to observe ongoing archaeological work at specific times.

The collection includes 526 standing stones measuring between one and three meters tall, forming geometric patterns including U-shaped and H-shaped arrangements.
