Cueva del Romeral
Cueva del Romeral submitted by ShamrockStone : Dolmen de El Romenal (Vote or comment on this photo)
The three chambered cairns just outside Antequera (Andalucia) are rightly famous but this is the only one which is open to the public. It consists of a long 2m high passage leading to a 4.5m diameter circular chamber with a high corbelled roof beyond which is a smaller circular chamber - all covered in a near 90m diameter mound.

Re: Cueva del Romeral by Anonymous on Monday, 26 February 2007
an excellent site, supposedly one of the largest known-
i'd like to mention that none of the three are open to the public,
that is one may not enter them, but must admire them from the outside.

    In the meantime they opened a visitor centre and all of the three are accessible for free.
