On the shores of the Salas Reservoir, in the parish of Requiás, A Casola do Foxo is one of the most remarkable megalithic monuments in Muíños and one of the main highlights along the Salas Valley Megalithic Route.
This dolmen was built as a funerary monument by the communities that inhabited and made use of these lands thousands of years ago. It retains a polygonal burial chamber formed by large stone slabs, or orthostats, although the passage that originally completed the structure has disappeared. The entire monument would once have been covered with earth and stones, forming a burial mound, or mámoa.
Its name is linked to an old foxo do lobo located just a few metres away, a traditional structure once used for trapping wolves that has been restored in recent years.
Preserved and enhanced through a series of archaeological interventions, A Casola do Foxo offers visitors the opportunity to discover a landscape where nature, archaeology and traditional culture come together.
