The site
The Archaeological Ensemble of Antequera Dolmens is a group of Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments in Spain, including dolmens, a tumulus and a necropolis. Built from around 3800 BCE and used for well over two millennia, these massive stone-chambered tombs count among the most striking megalithic constructions of prehistoric Europe.
