Catalonian mystery: uncovering the secrets of the Taula dels Lladres tomb

Walk through time to 3000 years ago: uncover the mysterious three-thousand-year-old megalith in Catalonia

The Taula dels Lladres, situated on the slopes of the Serra de Rodes near La Selva de Mar in Catalonia, is an archaeological site that includes a megalithic tomb. Dating back to the Bronze Age, this tomb has a single slanted stone cover that shows signs of refinement inside and has been decorated with a complex pattern of 30 cassoletes connected by rsteps. The chamber measures 1.30 meters wide and 2.20 meters long at its maximum, with an interior height of 1.60 meters. The cover stone has a rectangular section, and its position appears to be adjusted to all sides of the chamber. While the access to the chamber is not visible, it is believed that the tomb was accessed using a corridor.
