Antequera Dolmens Site
Sitio de los Dólmenes de Antequera
Prehistoric sites including the Menga Dolmen, one of the largest megalithic tombs in Europe, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016.
The Antequera Dolmens Site includes the Menga and Viera dolmens and the El Romeral tholos tomb, dating back about 5,000 to 6,000 years. The Menga Dolmen was built with stones weighing up to 180 tonnes, and its entrance faces the nearby mountain known as the Peña de los Enamorados, whose outline resembles a human face. In 2016 the dolmens, El Torcal and the Peña de los Enamorados were jointly inscribed as a World Heritage Site. Entry is free for EU citizens, and other visitors pay a nominal fee. Antequera's old town is about 45 minutes' drive from Málaga, and it can be combined with El Torcal in one day.
