Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Asturias
Very unusual Dolmen..
Wikipedia:
"The church was completely rebuilt on two occasions. First in 1632 and again after its destruction in the Spanish Civil War (1936). Then, local authorities decided to uncover the dolmen beneath it, which had been obscured by a church since the fourth century, when the first chapel was put up on that site. Of the original building only the foundation stone survives."
So.. this dolmen is under the chapel, visible through a hole in the floor.
