LA NECRÓPOLIS MEGALÍTICA DE COROMINAS

Tras trabajo de investigación y puesta en común de materiales, el alumnado realiza presentaciones escritas sobre La necrópolis de Corominas. Aquí tenemos un ejemplo:

COROMINA’S NECROPOLIS

In 2001, a prehistoric necropolis dating back more than 5,000 years was discovered during the construction of the Costa del Sol highway.

To make the continuation of the road works possibloe, a new place was built a kilometer away. The design of the small museum is futuristic, outstanding and simple, since some structural pieces were used in its construction to form a dome and reproduce the original environment. To complete the similarity with the burial site, it was covered with rocks and soil imitating a tumulus.

Entering, it is a spectacular and magical experience. The eyes must adapt to the soft inner illumination to discover little by little all the treasures that are conserved in it.

And when you are able to see, a world of 5 dolmens, skeletons, ceramic vessels, stone tools, arrowheads and personal ornaments are displayed in front of you in a very professional way. The skulls and skeletons in view are reproductions since the originals are preserved in another museum.

The entrance of stone reconstructing a dolmen and the starry optical fiber sky that reproduces the constellation of 5000 years ago complete the spectacularity of the funerary architecture.

The importance of this necropolis is that it is the best preserved in Andalusia and that was used during different periods such as Neolithic and Bronze Era.
