Parc Megalític de Roses

The Parc Megalític de Roses is an archaeological site with multiple stone monuments including dolmens and menhirs spread across an open area. Each structure shows different construction techniques and sizes from the age when people first built permanent ritual spaces.

The site preserves megalithic structures from around 5000 to 2500 years ago, marking some of the oldest buildings in the region. These monuments show when people first began building permanent structures for their religious practices and burial customs.

The stone monuments show how early communities honored their dead and what rituals mattered to them. You can see today how these places fit into the daily life and beliefs of those who built them.

The site is easy to explore using marked pathways, with information panels explaining each monument along the way. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when there are fewer people and the light is better for photographs.

Some of the stone blocks weigh several tons and were moved into place using only ancient tools and human effort. Scientists still puzzle over how early societies managed to transport such massive weights over long distances.
