Trail of els dòlmens del Moianès

Curiosity · Castellterçol, Moianès, Barcelona

Image of Castellterçol, not of the place itself.

A route through the dolmens and megalithic monuments scattered across the Moianès comarca. Among them stands out the dolmen of Santa Magdalena, in the municipal area of Moià, dated to the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Age: a large single-chamber tomb, oriented north to south, of which the front slab and the capstone survive, although the side slabs and the rear one are missing. Human teeth and two pieces of a pecten-shell necklace were found inside, and in the medieval period a cross surrounded by cypresses, linked to funerary worship, was carved into the capstone. It is catalogued in the Inventory of the Archaeological and Palaeontological Heritage of Catalonia.
