The access corridor and main entrance to the burial chamber of the Dolmen of Romeral (1800 BC) in Antequera, Spain

---

The Dolmen de Romeral in Antequera dates back to the late Copper Age, around 1800 BC, and consists of a long access corridor, burial chamber ( m across), and a second chamber ( m across) which is entered through a small corridor. Its outstanding feature is the use of dry-stone construction, that makes up the semi-domes of both chambers. The semi-domes are closed at the top by large stone slabs. The mound above it is more than 90 m in diameter and over 9 meter high. In this photo : long access corridor with main entrance to burial chamber and the entrance to the second chamber.
