Anta de Pavia, Christianized dolmen chapel in Pavia, Portugal.
The Anta de Pavia stands 4 meters tall with stone walls that form a chamber, now serving as the central nave of the chapel.
The prehistoric megalithic burial site underwent transformation in the 17th century when it was converted into a chapel dedicated to São Dinis.
The structure represents the meeting of Neolithic burial practices and Christian worship, with the original dolmen chamber now containing a blue-tiled altar.
Visitors can locate the monument at coordinates 38.8941568, -8.0172674, near the Montemor-o-Novo Castle and Portugal's Chapel of Bones.
The interior chamber maintains both its original megalithic structure and religious modifications, demonstrating the preservation of ancient architecture through adaptation.
