Dolmen of Sorginetxe, Spain

The Dolmen of Sorginetxe stands tall amidst the rolling Basque hills in Alava, Spain, inviting you to step back into a time long before the region"s bustling modern-day life. Sorginetxe is a Basque term meaning "house of Sorgin" or "house of witches." Dating back to 3,000 BCE, this ancient burial site was crafted by the early Basque inhabitants and provides a glimpse into their spiritual practices. The dolmen consists of massive stones arranged in a formation that was used for burial purposes, and possibly, ceremonies. Over time, this megalith has withstood centuries of weathering and still serves as a powerful reminder of the past.
