The menhir of Meada, declared Monumento Nacional in 2013, is the largest menhir in the Iberian Peninsula.

You are in front of the biggest menhir of the Iberian Peninsula! Made of porphyroid granite, it dates back to the Chalcolithic (Copper Age), is 7.15 m high and 1.25 m in diameter and its weight is estimated at 15 tons... It would have served as a territorial marker and would have been part of a group of other menhirs that were visible to each other, hence its great size. Not far from there is the Parque Megalítico dos Coureleiros, a group of five megalithic groups. The menhir of Meada was restored in 1993 and was declared a Monumento Nacional in 2013.
