Find out more about Dolmen Arca da Piosa

This is one of the mythical dolmens of Galicia, already known by nineteenth-century archaeologists, it was studied by the Leisner couple in 1933.

Located in the middle of an extensive eucalyptus plantation in the parish of Muiño (Zas), it is in a good state of conservation. It maintains four of the five orthostats of its polygonal chamber, and a short corridor with only one visible span, as well as the roof slabs of both the chamber and the corridor.

The poet Eduardo Pondal places the tomb of the Celtic warrior Brandomil here.
