Chronology



The formation of this chromeleque began at the end of the sixth millennium BC and ended in the third millennium BC.

The monoliths, some three meters high, were placed on alveoli or cavities, previously prepared. Currently there is a layout of all these monoliths, all of them being numbered, making it possible to identify the individual characteristics of each one.
