Peña Buraca, Archaeological site in Alcántara, Spain
The Peña Buraca site spans four hectares and contains numerous stone structures, including carved tombs and ancient wine presses embedded in rock formations.
Archaeological findings indicate that the settlement originated during the Late Roman Empire and remained inhabited through medieval periods, as evidenced by discovered coins.
The site features a distinctive stone formation with two large holes resembling eyes, which researchers connect to Chalcolithic period oculated idols.
Visitors need to bring water and supplies when exploring the site, as the location requires walking through undeveloped terrain without modern facilities.
The necropolis contains tombs with specialized head recesses and dual chambers, arranged in non-conventional patterns around the central stone formation.
