Dolmen of La Lastra

Dolmen of La Lastra

The only dolmen south of Córdoba, facing north, with a square chamber and a narrow passageway, ideal for lovers of archaeology and history.

It is the only dolmen in the south of the province of Córdoba and is unusual in that it faces north, unlike most others of its kind.


The dolmen at Dehesa de la Lastra is of the passage grave type, comprising a square chamber and a short, narrow, undifferentiated passage. It is small in size, with a total length of 3.72 metres, and its central axis is oriented north-north-west. The chamber is formed by three orthostats of local limestone, upon which rests a roof of the same material; the passageway, meanwhile, is formed by six orthostats of the same type of stone, suggesting the presence of a roof. The dolmen has been completely excavated and plundered, with only a few human teeth remaining.
