Serra d'Aboboreira, Mountain chain and archaeological site in Amarante region, Portugal
The granite mountain range extends to the western end of the Marão/Alvão massif, reaching altitudes of up to 1000 meters across three municipalities.
Archaeological investigations since 1978 have uncovered a megalithic necropolis containing forty burial mounds dating back to 4500 BCE during the Neolithic period.
The Chão de Parada 1 dolmen, classified as a National Monument in 1910, stands as a testament to the prehistoric burial practices in the region.
Visitors can access the Aboboreira plateau and its megalithic monuments via a road connecting Baião to Mesão Frio through designated pathways.
The mountainous area contains multiple flat surfaces known as 'chãs' where groups of burial mounds were strategically positioned by ancient communities.
