The Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro, located near Évora in Portugal, is one of the largest and most impressive megalithic structures on the Iberian Peninsula. Dating back to the late Neolithic period, around 4000-3000 BCE, this ancient monument features a massive stone chamber formed by large vertical slabs supporting a giant capstone. The dolmen was likely used for communal burials and ritual purposes. Surrounding the main chamber is a corridor leading to the entrance, which is partially reconstructed.
