Dolmen of Axeitos

Dolmen de Axeitos
The Axeitos Dolmen, located in the parish of Oleiros, is one of the most outstanding megalithic monuments in Galicia. Popularly known as the "Parthenon of Galician Megalithism", this dolmen dates back to the Neolithic period, approximately 4,000-5,000 years ago.
It is made up of a large horizontal slab supported by several vertical stones, creating a burial chamber that served as a collective burial place. The complex is surrounded by a natural landscape of great beauty, near the Atlantic coast. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest, the Axeitos Dolmen is a fascinating testimony to the first agricultural and livestock societies in the region, and a point of archaeological and tourist interest that attracts visitors interested in ancient history and Galician heritage.
