Megaliths · 30 min · 55 monoliths around a 3.6 m menhir, rescued from the reservoir · Free

At the foot of the hill, beside the Orada convent, 55 granite monoliths form an almost square enclosure around a 3.6 m menhir. They stood on the Herdade do Xerez, on land that Alqueva was going to flood, and were moved here in 1998. It is open-air and can be seen in a short while.
