Dolmen de Menga - Antequera, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain {Explore - 13/03/2022 - Highest Position 357}

            The Dolmen de Menga (Dolmen of Menga) is a megalithic burial mound called a tumulus, a long barrow form of dolmen, dating from the 3750-3650 BCE (approx).

It is one of the largest known ancient megalithic structures in Europe. It is 27.5 metres (90 ft) long, 6 metres (20 ft) wide and 3.5 metres (11 ft) high, and was built with thirty-two megaliths, the largest weighing about 180 tonnes (200 tons).

The Antequera Dolmens Site is a cultural heritage ensemble comprising three cultural monuments (the Dolmen of Menga, Dolmen of Viera and Tholos of El Romeral) and two natural mountain features (the Peña de los Enamorados and El Torcal).
The cultural institution responsible for its protection is the CADA (Conjunto Arqueológico Dólmenes de Antequera, Archeological Ensemble Dolmens of Antequera). It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2016.
