The Dolmen de Viera is a Copper Age megalithic corridor tomb near Antequera, Malaga, Spain, built c. 3510-3020 BC. Discovered in 1903 by brothers Antonio and Jose Viera, it features a long narrow corridor of 27 orthostatic stones leading to a rectangular burial chamber. Uniquely among the three Antequera dolmens, it faces east so that sunlight reaches the chamber at dawn during the spring and autumn equinoxes. A National Monument since 1923, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016 alongside the Dolmen of Menga and Tholos de El Romeral.
