The Dolmen de Viera or Dolmen de los Hermanos Viera is a dolmen—a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb—located in Antequera, province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain.[1] It is located only {{convert|70|m|ft}} from the Dolmen de Menga[1] and about {{convert|4|km|mi}} of another structure known as Tholos de El Romeral. It was discovered between 1903 and 1905 by brothers Antonio and José Viera from Antequera, who also discovered El Romeral.[2]

Description

Like the Dolmen de Menga, it is built with an orthostatic technique: large stones standing upright.[2] It consists of a long corridor[2][3] formed by twenty-seven stones, leading to a rectangular chamber.[2] This is presumed to be a burial chamber, although only silica and bone tools and ceramics were discovered there.[1] The burial chamber has different dimensions than the corridor: a little over {{convert|200|cm|in}} high[2] and {{convert|180|cm|in}} wide,[4] while the corridor is {{convert|185|cm|in}} high[4] and ranges from {{convert|130|cm|in}} wide at the entrance to {{convert|160|cm|in}} where it meets up with the chamber.[2] The corridor is a bit over {{convert|21|m|ft}} long.[2] The stones range from {{convert|20|cm|in}} to {{convert|50|cm|in}} in thickness.[4]

The dolmen is covered by a mound or tumulus {{convert|50|m|ft}} in diameter.[2] Like most Iberian tombs, it is oriented slightly south of east (96°),[2] situated precisely so that at the summer solstices the sunlight at daybreak illuminates the burial chamber.[5]

The left and right sides of the corridor appear to have consisted originally of sixteen slabs each; fourteen remain on the left and 15 on the right. Five larger slabs are intact in the roof, and there are fragments of two others; it would appear that three or four more have been entirely lost. The end of the corridor is a single large monolith with a square hole near its center. This and three other monoliths surround the chamber[2][6] There is a notable difference between the stones of the sides and those of the roof: the former are much more carefully worked and fit perfectly into the recesses made in the stones of the entrance and the floor.{{citation needed|date=January 2010}}

History

The Dolmen de Viera was built in the Copper Age, 3510-3020 BCE approx.[7] It has had the status of a National monument since 1923.[2]

Current status

The site is owned by the Council of Culture of the Andalusian Autonomous Government, who manage it as part of the Conjunto Arqueológico Dólmenes de Antequera.[2] The dolmen was restored recently,[4] and is open for visits by the public.[2]

In 2016, the dolmens of Menga, Viera, and El Romeral were all inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Antequera Dolmens Site".
