Antas do Barrocal, Neolithic dolmen in Nossa Senhora da Tourega, Portugal.
The dolmen features seven granite pillars forming a polygonal chamber measuring three meters in diameter and reaching 2.2 meters in height.
Built between 3500 and 2000 BCE, this funerary monument became a National Monument in 1910 due to its archaeological significance.
The east-west orientation of the burial chamber indicates specific knowledge of astronomical alignments by Neolithic communities in the Alentejo region.
Located on a gentle slope near Évora, the site allows free access and includes informational panels explaining the megalithic structure.
Five of the original granite pillars remain in their exact position, supporting an intact capstone that covers the burial chamber.
