Dolmen de Guadalperal, Cáceres

Guadalperal dolmen site in 2017, submerged under water Guadalperal dolmen site in 2019, exposed due to drought conditions

The prehistoric stone circle at Guadalperal emerged from the Valdecañas reservoir in Cáceres province during severe drought conditions. This megalithic monument, dating back thousands of years, typically remains submerged beneath the waters of the artificial lake. The comparison between 2017 and 2019 illustrates the dramatic impact of water level fluctuations on this archaeological site, revealing the ancient structure that normally lies hidden underwater.
