Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro, Neolithic burial monument in Nossa Senhora da Tourega, Portugal.

The Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro features a polygonal chamber supported by seven pillars reaching 8 meters high, connected to a 12-meter-long corridor.

Archaeological excavations in 1965 revealed numerous artifacts including slate tablets, necklaces, copper objects, and ceramics, now preserved in the Évora Museum.

The granite structure represents advanced engineering capabilities of Neolithic societies, demonstrating their methods for constructing permanent monuments between 4000-3000 BC.

A metal enclosure surrounds the dolmen for preservation purposes, with the site located one kilometer north of the Convent of Bom Jesus of Valverde.

The entrance features a decorated menhir that currently lies flat, while the chamber remains covered by a broken seven-meter granite slab.
