Tomb of the Three Kings

Curiosity · Rubió, Anoia, Barcelona

The sepulcre dels Tres Reis is a megalithic dolmen located on the Serra de Rubió, on the boundary between Rubió and Prats de Rei (Anoia), beside an old transhumance route. Its funerary chamber, quadrangular and formed of five large slabs of local stone, was surrounded by a circular mound of earth and stones more than eight metres in diameter, now heavily eroded. Excavated in 1964 by a team from the Museu Arqueològic de Barcelona, it was found to have already been looted in ancient times, although human teeth and molars were recovered along with ceramic vessels and an awl, offerings from a multiple burial used around 1200 BC. Since ancient times it has served to mark the boundaries of Rubió, Prats de Rei and the vanished Castell de Maçana, from which its name may derive.
