Pias Dolmen

Share Image

Pias dolmen (V-III milenia b.C.) is on a hill overlooking Guadiana river near a path connecting to Pulo do Lobo. The small dolmen includes a trapezoidal chamber with a small corridor facing east built with small shale pillars and a slab that covers partially the burial chamber.

It should be understood as an element of heritage value, dating from prehistory, especially because in this region records of this period are not frequent.
