The Anta de Pavia is a Neolithic dolmen erected between the 4th and 3rd millennia BC, composed of seven enormous orthostats topped by a massive capstone [1] [2]. The chamber was converted into a Christian chapel dedicated to Sao Dinis, with a bell tower, cross, and an altar decorated with 18th-century Lisbon azulejo tiles added to the interior [1] [3]. Classified as a Portuguese National Monument since 1910, it stands in the centre of Pavia village in the Alentejo region [1] [4].
