Dolmen of Menga, Megalithic burial site in Antequera, Spain.

The Dolmen of Menga features a rectangular chamber extending 27.5 meters in length, supported by 32 massive megaliths and covered with an earthen mound.

The construction of this megalithic structure dates back to 3750-3650 BCE, making it one of the earliest and largest ancient stone monuments in Europe.

Archaeological excavations within the burial chamber revealed skeletal remains of several hundred individuals, indicating its role as a communal burial ground.

The monument remains open for visitors throughout the year with modified seasonal schedules, and entrance to the archaeological site requires no payment.

The structure contains a 19.4-meter deep water well inside the chamber, displaying engineering capabilities that were exceptional for Neolithic builders.
