Overview

On this tour you’ll delve into Portugal’s Neolithic period (circa 5500 to 3000 BC) and explore two of the region’s earliest and most remarkable megalithic sites: the Menir of Almendres and the Cromlech of Almendres.

The Alentejo is home to many megalithic structures, including cromlechs, menirs, and dolmens. It is during this period when agriculture emerged, along with many other significant cultural and social developments.

Your tour guides are archaeologists and look forward to showing you some spectacular sites from Portugal's past.

What To Expect

Cromeleque dos Almendres

Our meeting point for this excursion will be the Roman Temple of Évora. From there, we will embark on a 25-minute drive to reach the path to the Menir of Almendres. We will then make the 5–10 minute walk down the picturesque path to visit this impressive solitary standing stone. Please note that the path to the Menir is in poor condition and those with reduced mobility may not be able to reach it.Next, we will make a 10-minute drive down the road toward the Cromlech of Almendres. As a portion of the road to the Cromlech has collapsed due to neglect by the municipality, we will walk the remainder of the road, approximately 30 minutes one-way, to reach the Cromlech of Almendres, often referred to as the Stonehenge of Portugal. At the site, we will continue our discussion of the Neolithic and provide an overview of the theories associated with the monument. You will learn about the history of this site from archaeologists specializing in the prehistory of this region.
