Mamoa de Lamas

Located in the parish of Lamas, in Braga, the Mamoa de Lamas is a prehistoric funerary monument built around five thousand years ago.

This type of monument corresponds to a megalithic tomb consisting of a chamber and a corridor, built with large stone slabs placed vertically and covered by horizontal slabs, originally covered by a mound (mamoa) of earth and stone.

Inside, various objects associated with funerary rituals were found, such as decorated ceramic vases, polished axes and stone arrowheads.
