Nestled in Spain's picturesque Extremadura region, the Dolmen of Guadalperal, often referred to as the "Spanish Stonehenge," is a mysterious megalithic monument submerged for decades beneath the Valdecañas Reservoir. Dating back to the late Neolithic period, this architectural marvel consists of granite and quartz stones meticulously arranged, revealing advanced engineering skills.


Discovered by German priest Hugo Obermaier in the 1920s, the dolmen's purpose remains speculative, with theories ranging from burials to astronomical observatories. The recent drought in 2019 uncovered this hidden treasure, drawing global attention to its historical significance.
