The Anta de Pavia is a Neolithic dolmen erected between the 4th and 3rd millennia BC, composed of seven enormous granite orthostats topped by a massive capstone. It is one of the largest megalithic monuments on the Iberian Peninsula. Before 1625, 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. Classified as a Portuguese National Monument since 1910, it stands in the centre of Pavia village in the Alentejo region, which contains approximately 120 megaliths.
