The Pyrenean Centre for the Interpretation of Megalithic Monuments is 8 kilometres from Hecho on the Selva de Oza road and occupies the old Forestry Commission Building. The location forms part of the Western Valleys Natural Park.

Through the interpretation of the area known as the “Corona de los Muertos” “Crown of the Dead” (a site with more than 120 stone circles) and with the help of audio-visual resources, information panels and reproductions of tools, the ways of life of the ancient inhabitants of this land are brought to light. The Crown of the Dead has the greatest concentration of megaliths ever found in the Pyrenees and these include stone circles (hut walls), dolmens, menhirs and burial mounds.
