Abstract

This paper presents an inventory of the megaliths documented in the region of Tierra de Ledesma (Salamanca), from which a spatial analysis of them has been carried out using Geographic Information Systems, to relate these constructions with the geographical environment in which they are found, in addition to studying aspects such as their influence or dominance over a certain portion of the territory through visibility analysis. The heterogeneous distribution of the megaliths in this area is evident, their location being related to the watercourses and the geology of the terrain, in addition to being located within a certain range of altitudes.
