Unraveling the Cosmic Ties: The Enigmatic Celestial Tomb Complex of Ceuró

Journey to the Espai de Protecció Arqueològica in western Catalonia's Solsonès region to investigate the intriguing astronomical relationships of the ancient Neolithic tombs known as the Necròpolis de Ceuró.

The Necròpolis de Ceuró, positioned in the verdant hills of the Solsonès region, dates back to the Neolithic Middle period, a span between 3500 and 2500 BC. The necropolis encompasses three tombs: Cista I, Cista II, and Cista III. The celestially intriguing Cista I, crafted on a gradient, features a four-slab structure with a northeast-facing entrance, propelling theories about its cosmic connection. Inside, the tomb measures 1.60 meters in length, 0.80 meters in width, and 0.65 meters in height.

Cista II, another tomb in the necropolis, boasts a five-slab structure. Its headstone faces east, its south slabs point to the south, and its blocking slab to the north. Inside, the tomb measures 2.30 meters in length, 0.60 meters in width, and 0.80 meters in height. Cista III, inhabiting a slope, boasts a square structure, comprised of four vertical slabs and one cover slab. Its interior measures 0.95 meters in length, 0.90 meters in width, and 0.80 meters in height.
