Malaga Villages Information: The DOLMENS OF ANTEQUERA


Dolmens of Antequera


The megalithic complex is formed by three burial constructions:
Menga, Viera and El Romeral, belong to the Calcolithic or Copper Age (2500-1800BC), which was possible thanks to a great collective effort. A large workforce was needed and also a strong sense of co-operation among all the individuals of the social group. Also, a lot of time and effort went in to the work.

Menga Dolmen.- 2500 BCE. Megalithic monument. It is perhaps the best dolmen example in Europe. Amazing blocks of stone were transported from the Veracruz quarry. It's an important dolmenic gallery covered with earth tu mu Ius and sandstone blocks.

Viera Dolmen.- 2000 BCE. It is located in the same area and it is also a megalithic monument. It is extremely important. It is a covered gallery made up of an access corridor and a square chamber, which is reached by means of a door set into a mololith.

El Romeral Dolmen.- 1800 BCE. It displays some innovations. It is designed by three rooms: a gallery, the burial chamber and a second smaller chamber for offerings. Both chambers are by means of a false dome.
