Menir dos Almendres

The stone, a menhir about 3.50 m high, consists of porphyry granodiorite and, like many menhirs and most of the cylindrical limestone idols of the Alentejo, has a flat and a curved side. He wears a báculo decoration, which is partially covered by an older wavy line that is barely recognizableNearby you can also find the remains of the Almendres dolmen.

A large single monolith. The path there is very narrow and takes about 5 minutes.

The Stone Circle of Almendres is a spectacular collection of menhirs, consisting of 95 monoliths, arranged in two concentric circles. Some menhirs show schematic and geometric carvings. A little further on there is a menhir of 4 meters high.
