Antequera Dolmens Site

The Antequera Dolmens Site, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Spain, comprises three prehistoric megalithic monuments: the Menga Dolmen, Viera Dolmen, and Tholos of El Romeral. Dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, these structures showcase exceptional engineering and architectural skills of ancient communities, built using large stone blocks. The site also includes two natural monuments, La Peña de los Enamorados and El Torcal, which enhance its cultural and historical significance. Recognized for its universal value, it provides insight into the funerary and ritual practices of early European societies.
