The first evidence of human settlement in the Vall-llobrega area is the Dolmen de Montagut [ca], on the top of Montagut hill between Vall-llobrega and Palamós. Dating from the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC, this has 3 slabs in their original state and the remains of a tomb that these once covered.[4][5]
