Megalithic complex

(3,000 – 2,700 BC)
Cultural Asset of National Interest

 

We invite you to travel back in time. The remains of the earliest known inhabitants of Roses lie on the road to Montjoi, within the Cap de Creus Natural Park. It is an impressive megalithic complex consisting of several dolmens, menhirs, cists and inscultures. Creu d’en Cobertella is the largest dolmen, built with seven huge blocks placed vertically and a slab weighing over eighteen tones, and one of the largest prehistoric monuments in Catalonia.

 

All the monuments can be visited along an easy itinerary which is fully signposted.
