A Fornela Dos Mouros Dolmen
A Fornela Dos Mouros Dolmen submitted by SolarMegalith : Site in Galicia Spain: A Fornela Dos Mouros - one of the finest dolmens in Galicia. (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of the most beautiful dolmens in Galicia, stunningly located on the slope of the mountain. It consists of 3 uprights and 1 big capstone and is 1.35 Meters high. It was build between 2500 - 2000 BCE.

Reaching this dolmen isn't a difficult task - in the village there are signs which will lead you almost directly to the tomb.
