This interpretation centre presents the peculiarity of being located in an underground building under a tumulus, which recreates megalithic funerary architecture. Inside was reconstructed topography of the site, including the five dolmens in its original position, in which dozens of individuals buried with ceramic vases, stone tools, arrowheads, axes and personal ornaments were exhumed, excelling the beads, made some of semiprecious stones and perforated seashells. Around the dolmens has been made mounting panels and cabinets in which explanations are provided on site and materials found inside the tombs are exposed. In order to create a suitable environment, the lighting is done through optical fibre for both exposed elements (panels, cabinets and dolmens) and for signalling paths for visitors and a starry sky recreating constellations time of use of the necropolis.
