Archaeologist-led guided visits to the Almendres cromlech and the Anta Grande do Zambujeiro, from the interpretation centre in Guadalupe, near Évora.

## Who they are

Ebora Megalithica is a small team of archaeologists and heritage technicians devoted to educational services on the archaeology and prehistory of the Alentejo. It works from the Almendres interpretation centre, in the village of Guadalupe, about 15 km from Évora, which it created in collaboration with the Câmara Municipal de Évora to accompany the visit to the cromlech. Its motto sums up the idea: educate, promote, preserve, inspire and share. In addition to the guided visits, it runs workshops and activities for schools and has a themed shop.

## The interpretation centre

Admission is free. It is open every day from 10:00 to 18:00 from 1 May to 31 October and from 10:00 to 17:00 the rest of the year. It has a visitor desk, a circuit of twelve large panels on the archaeology and ecology of the area and an educational park with life-size replicas of Palaeolithic shelters and a Neolithic hut, with tools, weapons, pottery and votive objects, as well as a collection of 3D skulls showing human evolution. Outside there is a garden of native plants, a shaded picnic area with room for 48 people and benches beside the Valverde stream. It has toilets, including accessible ones, a simple café and the shop. The prehistory park's activities are booked in advance.

## What the guided visit is like

The guided visit takes in the Almendres cromlech and menhir and the Anta Grande do Zambujeiro, one of the largest dolmens on the peninsula. It is led by archaeologists or heritage specialists with the findings of recent research. It lasts about three hours, in groups of three to seven people, with morning (10:00 to 13:00) and afternoon (14:00 to 17:00) departures, and can be done in Spanish, Portuguese or English. They explain how and when the monuments were raised, how those who built them lived and the cork oak and holm oak montado landscape that surrounds them. It costs €30 per person.
