One sentence
Hi everyone,
In the last sentence below, what do you think it refers to? The "utterly modern marble courtyard" OR "this simple yet powerful relic" ?
I understood it as the relic was made in ancient times but it seems like a modern place which was made yesterday.
Does it seem right ?
Your comments will be a great help for me.
Thanks~

Some of Europe’s largest megalithic tombs stand on the fringes of Antequera. The Dolmen de Menga and Dolmen de Viera are 1km
from the city centre, on the road leading northeast to the A45. In about 2500 or 2000 BC the local folk managed to transport dozens
of huge rocks from nearby hills to construct these earth-covered tombs for their chieftains. Menga is 25m long, 4m high and composed of 32 slabs, the largest weighing 180 tonnes. You can walk across the utterly modern marble courtyard to enter this simple yet powerful relic of an unimaginably distant past. It could have been built yesterday to house one of Andalucía’s proliferating dance venues.
