Dolmen du Molí del Vent

Dolmen du Molí del Vent, Neolithic dolmen in Cassagnes, France.

Description

Dolmen du Molí del Vent is a Neolithic burial monument in Bélesta with a chamber accessed through a narrow corridor of dry stacked stones. The structure has a roughly circular shape and measures about 9 meters across.

History

This dolmen was built in the late Neolithic period and was used as a burial site over many generations. Archaeological findings show that the site was revisited and used by people across different time periods.

Culture

The structure shows how Neolithic communities treated their burial grounds and what meaning these stone monuments held for them. You can see today how carefully the stones were arranged and how deliberate the design is.

Practical

Access is by way of a dirt track starting from a small parking area near Cassagnes village. The walk is straightforward, but you should wear sturdy shoes and allow time to explore the exposed stonework at your own pace.

Did you know?

The entrance corridor gradually narrows as it leads deeper toward the central chamber, creating an unexpected spatial effect. This tapering was likely intentional and hints at the builders' careful planning of the interior layout.
