Eteneta I megalithic complex
Eteneta I megalithic complex, Prehistoric stone circle in Urnieta, Spain.
Description
Eteneta I is a megalithic complex made up of multiple standing stones and two circular stone arrangements positioned on elevated ground. The stones sit on a hillside location that opens toward the eastern horizon.
History
These stones date to the late prehistoric period and represent one of the largest collections of megalithic structures found in northern Spain. The scale of the site shows that this region held importance across generations.
Culture
The stone arrangements here express how prehistoric communities in this region connected with the land and the turning of seasons. The way the stones are positioned suggests both everyday practices and ritualistic moments that mattered to these people.
Practical
The site is reachable through marked paths and visitors can navigate the area fairly easily. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground is hilly and paths can be muddy or wet depending on the season.
Did you know?
The stones align with sunrise during solstice events, showing that people here carefully tracked the sun's movements throughout the year. This precise positioning was not accidental but required patient observation and planning over long periods.
