About

A dolmen located up in a breathtaking mountain valley, in the Pyrenees of Spain. This megalithic funerary monument is one of many ancient stones preserved in these valleys, but it is one of the best-preserved examples in the area.

The dolmen is made up of five sandstone slabs: one that serves as a roof, three are wall-like structures, and a fourth smaller one sits at the entrance as a closing slab. It has survived the harsh conditions of the mountain since prehistoric times, and remains in good condition.
