Archaeologists have discovered more than 500 standing stones on a land that was earmarked for avocado plantation in southern Spain, according to reports.

Experts believe it is one of the world’s largest complexes of monoliths in Europe. The standing stones were discovered on a piece of land spanning 600 hectares in Huelva in Spain.

Archaeologists had sought permission from the Spanish authorities to survey the land because they believed it had historical significance. That is how they discovered the huge complex of monoliths.

“This is the biggest and most diverse collection of standing stones grouped together in the Iberian peninsula,” José Antonio Linares, a researcher at Huelva University and one of the project’s three directors, was quoted as saying by AFP.
