On the north side of the town of Magacela we find this prehistoric building that is in perfect condition. From one side of the Dolmen you can see the castle of the same town in the background.

The Magacela dolmen, also known as the Cerca del Marzo dolmen, is located northeast of Magacela, near Don Benito. This impressive megalithic monument dates back to the Chalcolithic period and is a fascinating testament to the region's history.
The dolmen consists of a round chamber built with 12 granite blocks. The average height of the orthostats is 1.75 meters, and two entrance blocks exceed 2 meters in height. Five of the stones are engraved on the interior, including an eleven-ray solar motif and a vertical feathered motif unique to the Iberian Peninsula. In addition, there are several bowls at the bottom of the stone.
Although the original corridor has not been preserved, research indicates that it was approximately 9 meters in length. Several hypotheses about the old roof are debated, such as a false dome, a large stone slab or a wooden roof.
Although the corridor has sadly disappeared, the dolmen chamber remains an impressive vestige of the past. Definitely worth a visit! 😊
