El tholos de El Romeral, también llamado comúnmente dolmen de El Romeral o cueva de El Romeral, es un monumento megalítico, declarado Patrimonio Mundial el 15 de julio de 2016 y Bien de Interés Cultural, situado en la ciudad española de Antequera (Málaga), formando parte del Conjunto Arqueológico Dólmenes de Antequera. Se encuentra en el recinto segundo, a menos de 2 km de los dólmenes de Menga y Viera, justo en el eje entre el dolmen de Menga y la Peña de los Enamorados.
Es singular por su tipología de cúpula por aproximación de hiladas (vinculada a la tradición mediterránea) y atípico por su doble orientación hacia la sierra de El Torcal (vinculación geográfica) y los ortos solares en el mediodía del solsticio de invierno (vinculación astronómica). Está compuesto por un corredor adintelado de sección trapezoidal y 4 m de longitud, construido con grandes lajas y piedras pequeñas. Al fondo se encuentran dos cámaras circulares, la primera de mayor diámetro que la segunda, destinada a las ofrendas y con una piedra de altar; construidas con pequeñas piedras salientes en cada hilada respecto a la inferior, con lo que se consigue una sección abovedada aunque al final el sistema se complete en su clave con una cobija. El conjunto se cubre con un túmulo de 75 m de diámetro, rodeado por un perímetro de cipreses.

The tholos of El Romeral, also commonly called dolmen of El Romeral or cave of El Romeral, is a megalithic monument, declared World Heritage on July 15, 2016 and of Cultural Interest, located in the Spanish city of Antequera (Malaga) , forming part of the Archaeological Complex Dolmens of Antequera. It is located in the second precinct, less than 2 km from the dolmens of Menga and Viera, right on the axis between the dolmen of Menga and the Peña de los Enamorados.
It is unique for its typology of dome by approach of courses (linked to the Mediterranean tradition) and atypical by its double orientation towards the mountain range of El Torcal (geographical linkage) and the solar ortos at midday of the winter solstice (astronomical linkage). It is composed of a trapezoidal lintel corridor and 4 m long, built with large slabs and small stones. In the background there are two circular chambers, the first with a larger diameter than the second, intended for offerings and with an altar stone; They are built with small protruding stones in each row with respect to the lower one, with which a vaulted section is obtained, although in the end the system is completed in its key with a blanket. The whole is covered with a tumulus of 75 m in diameter, surrounded by a perimeter of cypresses.
