Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Alentejo

The Anta dos Apóstolos is located in Pardais, part of the Municipality of Vila Viçosa.
It's a dolmen of polygonal chamber with corridor. Today only 4 pillars remain and the shape is of an irregular size of 4 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. Taking as example other Antas with the same typology it can be considered as a monument from the 4th or from the beginning of the 3rd millennium B.C. This is not a classified monument.
