Ancient Megalithic Sites

Scania’s coastline is home to significant prehistoric monuments ranging from the Neolithic to the Viking Age. This collection features Ale’s Stones, a massive 67-meter stone ship, and the King’s Grave, a Bronze Age mound known for its rare petroglyphs. These sites, including the coastal dolmen at Haväng and the ship setting at Stenhed, showcase the evolution of Scandinavian burial traditions and megalithic architecture. Each location offers specific archaeological evidence of early maritime culture and ritual practices in southern Sweden.
