Mámoas are prehistoric megalithic structures found in several regions of Western Europe, mainly in Portugal and Spain. These funerary monuments date from the Copper and Bronze Ages, between 3000 BC and 1500 BC.
The Mámoa de Moraña are located in the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain. They consist of earth and stone tumuli that cover burial chambers. The size of the mamoas can vary, with some being relatively small and others reaching considerable dimensions.
These megalithic structures had a funerary function and were probably used to bury important or high-ranking people. Some mamoas have shown signs of looting over the centuries, but many have been studied and documented by archaeologists, helping to better understand the life and beliefs of ancient prehistoric peoples.
The region of Galicia is rich in interesting archaeological sites and the mamoas of Morana form an important part of the historical and cultural heritage of this area.
