The Cau de la Mostela II is a megalithic site from the Copper Age and Early Bronze Age (approximately between 2200 and 1500 BC), located in a clearing in the Can Dous forest, within the municipality of Llinars del Vall\u00e8s. It is a complex formed by a natural “cave” created by two granite blocks – one more than 1.30 m thick resting on the other – and, about eight meters away, a monolith almost two meters high with a concavity excavated in the upper part that is believed to have served as a ritual altar. <\/p>\n
This site is part of the municipal inventory of archaeological heritage, and in the mid-20th century it was already known as \u201cCau de la Mostela\u201d. Due to its shape and the presence of a possible altar, it is interpreted that it had a ceremonial function for the prehistoric communities that inhabited the area, offering valuable testimony about the first forms of spiritual and social life in the territory. <\/p>\n
The site is accessible via hiking and mountain bike routes through the natural environment of Can Dous and has no tourist infrastructure (such as viewpoints or panels), which invites a silent, slow and respectful visit, faithful to its original spirit. It is an ideal stop for archaeology enthusiasts, quiet hiking and those looking for a connection with heritage in a preserved natural environment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
