Located in Ronda, the Dolmen de La Giganta is a megalithic construction from the Second millennium B.C.

The dolmen de la Giganta is a megalithic construction located in the municipality of Ronda, near the monte del Higuerón. Discovered in 1941, it stands as an important example of megalithic architecture in Andalusia.

The structure dates back to the Eneolithic period during the Second millennium B.C. It is composed of three large vertical stones supporting another stone on top. These structures served a sacred-funerary function in the region's history.
