Monumentos megalíticos en Marvão

Megalithic Monuments

The Marvão region contains a dense concentration of Neolithic and Chalcolithic monuments dating between the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE. This collection includes well-preserved granite dolmens, known locally as antas, and solitary standing stones called menhirs. These structures served as collective burial chambers and ceremonial markers. Most sites are accessible via rural paths and provide direct evidence of the funerary practices and territorial organization of prehistoric Iberian communities in the Alto Alentejo.
