Anta da Arca

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Portugal (Viseu)
Visited: Would like to visit
Anta da Arca submitted by Alta-Falisa on 28th Mar 2015. Strangely enough, this remarkable dolmen is not signposted anywhere. On the site, a board laconicaly says "Anta". However, even reduced to its few surviving components : a capstone, three uprights and a few smaller stones, Anta de Arca (the name of the nearby village) is one of the most elegant in Northern Portugal. Photo : March 2015.

Log Text: This group of dolmens is a bit of an adventure. It seems rarely visited but the surroundings are great. You will pass the first dolmens right beside a iron gate that was locked but allows pedestrian access when I was there in June 2018. Continue to the beautiful but fallen menhir and behind the menhir is the access to most of the dolmens. The Megalithic Portal app on my phone came in very handy since I had a mobil wifi.

Log Text: This was once a great dolmen. Sadly, the excavation was severely marred by removing the mound to reveal the stone core. It may have included the removal of the capstone??? Tell me this is not true. The site is now covered by a tin roof and entrance into the chamber is prohibited. The idea of protecting a 6 or 7 thousand year old stone monument with a tin roof is a sad comment on the hubris of the people that "conserved" the site. It would have been much better left alone in its original state.

Log Text: This is a very rare paleolithic cave with paintings and engravings. The evidence is fragmentary but still very much worth it. Excellent tour in english by reservation.
