Cova d'en Daina

Cova d'en Daina is a dolmen located near Romanyà de la Selva, in the municipality of Santa Cristina d'Aro, Catalonia, Spain [1]. The dolmen was built out of granite blocks and is dated around 2700–2200 BC [1]. It was discovered by Pere Cama i Casas and the first mention of its uncovering was by Agustí Casas in 1894 [1]. It was later excavated by Lluís Esteva i Cruañas, who unearthed human bones and teeth, flint arrowheads, knife and pottery fragments, and necklace beads [1]. It was partially reconstructed in the 1950s [1]. It is seven metres long and made up of an entrance passage into the funeral chamber, with a circular tumulus that is 11 metres in diameter [1]. The entrance to the tomb is oriented to the southeast, which allows sunlight to reach the interior on the winter solstice [1].
