The Dolmen de Menga is one of the largest megalithic tombs in Europe and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Dolmenes de Antequera. Dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, the monument consists of enormous stone blocks that together form an impressive burial chamber. Its orientation is remarkable: instead of facing the sun, the entrance faces the Peña de los Enamorados, the striking mountain in the landscape.
