The stone circle that points to prehistory

In the Basque Country, the 3rd millennium BC is not merely history. In Mulisko Gaina, it is a physical reminder of our ancestors' ancient civilization. Eleven stones surrounding a central monolith. Here is the stone circle that gives us an inkling of how our ancestors marked their time, and perhaps the beginning of the first Stone Age civilization in the Adarramendi-Mandoegi area. It is also the site of the first Stone Age explosion of civilization in the Adarramendi-Mandoegi area, of which Mulisko Gaina is a part, with 92 megaliths identified so far. The stone circle itself is special, not a coincidence. It marks the beginning of something yet to be determined. It stands at 5.6 metres across and is almost entirely made of stones, with 31 stones forming a circle around a 4.8 metre monolith in the centre. The site was excavated between 1983 and 1985 by J. Peñalver.

Today, the standing stones and monolith still remain at Mulisko Gaina, a testament to its ancient heritage.
