Chão Redondo Dolmen 1 and 2

The Chão Redondo Megalithic Necropolis is made up of two corridor monuments, about 50 metres apart, located on the slopes of the Talhadas mountain range.

These prehistoric graves are around 6000 years old. Dolmen 2 of Chão Redondo stands out for its size, state of preservation and heritage value.

Classified as a monument of public interest.

The two dolmens were built around 6,000 years ago.

In Dolmen 1, a burial chamber pillar and corridor pillars can still be seen under a well-preserved tumulus. It probably had a burial chamber and access corridor.

Dolmen 2, despite its degree of destruction, is one of the most profusely decorated dolmens on the Iberian Peninsula with engraved motifs, a burial chamber and an access corridor. The engraved motifs are distributed throughout the burial chamber and the corridor. Another unique feature is the existence of an atrium outside the access corridor. This is where the funeral ceremonies were held, with all the community.
