Cista de la Carretera de Calonge
The Cista de la Carretera de Calonge is a roughly oval stone box in the remains of a tumulus . It is located northeast of Romanyà de la Selva, a village in Santa Cristina d'Aro in the south of the Comarca Baix Empordà in the province of Girona in Catalonia in Spain .
Discovered by Manuel Cazurro i Ruiz in 1912 and excavated by Lluís Estève in 1952, the north-west-south-east oriented granite complex is dated to the Neolithic (3500-2500 BC).
The approximately 2.5 m long, 0.95 m wide and a maximum of 0.55 m high chamber consists of 13 granite slabs . A short distance to the east lie five broken plates. They can be leftovers from the ceiling tiles.
The findings of the excavation consist of small fragments of smooth, very large ceramics that are in the Museum of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
Nearby are the Dolmen Cova d'en Daina and the Paradolmen del Camp d'en Güitó .
