The Almendres Cromlech, 16 km west of <a href=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/evora\/\">\u00c9vora<\/a> in Portugal&#8217;s Alentejo region, is larger, older, and considerably less crowded. Construction at Almendres began around 6000 BC \u2014 approximately 3,000 years before the first stones were raised at Stonehenge. The site contains around 95 granite menhirs arranged in two linked oval formations, some still standing, some fallen, some bearing carved symbols that have not been fully interpreted.<\/p><p>The reason most people have not heard of Almendres is practical rather than historical. There is no public transport to the site. The approach road is 8 km of gravel track through cork oak and olive groves. There is no entrance fee, no ticket booth, no caf\u00e9, and no audio guide. The site is simply there, in an Alentejo field, as it has been for approximately eight millennia.<\/p><p>I have brought clients to Almendres as an add-on to the \u00c9vora day tour. The reaction is consistent: people expect a minor roadside attraction and arrive at something that takes several minutes to process. This guide covers what Almendres is, how to reach it, and what to do with the time once you are there.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcccc9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dcccc9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a406c3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4a406c3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e746687 elementor-toc--minimized-on-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"e746687\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;,&quot;h3&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;numbers&quot;,&quot;minimize_box&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;minimized_on&quot;:&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of Contents\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--expand\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__e746687\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Abrir la tabla de contenidos\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--collapse\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__e746687\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Cerrar la tabla de contenidos\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__e746687\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb17a1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"fb17a1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-976608f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"976608f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9e76442\" data-id=\"9e76442\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33c9341 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33c9341\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>What Almendres Actually Is<\/h2><div><p>The Almendres Cromlech \u2014 Cromeleque dos Almendres in Portuguese \u2014 is the largest megalithic complex in the Iberian Peninsula. It consists of approximately 95 granite menhirs arranged in two linked oval formations on a hillside above the Alentejo plain. The stones range in height from under a metre to over 2.5 metres. Several bear carved cup marks and geometric symbols; a small number have anthropomorphic carvings.<\/p><p>The term <strong>cromlech<\/strong> \u2014 from the Welsh\/Breton <strong>crom<\/strong> (curved) and <strong>lech<\/strong> (stone) \u2014 describes a circular or oval arrangement of standing stones. Unlike Stonehenge, where the stones were transported from Wales and arranged with lintel structures, the menhirs at Almendres are local granite, placed upright in situ. The arrangement is not random: astronomical alignments with the winter solstice sunrise and the rising of certain stars have been documented by researchers at the University of \u00c9vora, though the full purpose of the site remains a subject of ongoing study.<\/p><p>The cromlech sits at approximately 300 metres elevation, on a gentle hillside enclosed by cork oak (<strong>Quercus suber<\/strong>) and olive trees. The landscape itself is part of what makes the visit \u2014 this is the Alentejo interior, silent except for wind and occasional livestock, and the stone circle occupies that silence with a kind of weight that photographs do not capture.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f105aa0 elementor-widget

Know?<\/h2><div><div><p>Construction at Almendres took place in phases over several millennia. The earliest stones were erected around 6000 BC, during the Early Neolithic period. The site was expanded and modified through the Chalcolithic (Copper Age), with the most recent phase of construction dated to approximately 3000\u20132500 BC. Stonehenge&#8217;s construction began around 3000 BC and continued to approximately 1500 BC \u2014 meaning the oldest stones at Almendres predate Stonehenge&#8217;s first phase by approximately 3,000 years \u2014 or by around 1,000 years when comparing the final Almendres construction phase (~4000 BC) with Stonehenge&#8217;s stone settings (~3000 BC).<\/p><p>Dating was established through radiocarbon analysis of organic material found during excavations by the archaeologist Henrique Leonor Pina in the 1960s and subsequent excavation and restoration by archaeologist M\u00e1rio Varela Gomes in the 1980s. The carved symbols on some stones \u2014 concentric circles, crescent forms, and shepherd&#8217;s crook shapes \u2014 correspond to carvings found at other Alentejo megalithic sites from the same period, providing corroborating typological evidence.<\/p><p>The multi-phase construction explains why the site has two distinct oval formations rather than one coherent circle. The northern oval is the older structure; the southern oval was added later and is slightly different in stone size and spacing. Whether the builders of the two phases had any continuous institutional relationship with each other across several thousand years of construction is a question archaeology cannot currently answer. The stones are simply there, from both periods, in the same field.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4426117 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4426117\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-276629\" alt=\"Carved cup marks and crescent symbols on Almendres Cromlech menhir, Neolithic and Chalcolithic period carvings, \u00c9vora district Portugal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yellowcabtttours.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/CromelequeAlmendresBigStones-net.jpg 1782w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e83dc80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e83dc80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-424ffad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"424ffad\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-486958b\" data-id=\"486958b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15b38ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15b38ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>The Stones Themselves: What You See on the Ground<\/h2><div><div><p>Of the approximately 95 menhirs documented at Almendres, the majority were re-erected during restoration work carried out by M\u00e1rio Varela Gomes in the 1980s. Some stones remain fallen or fragmented, primarily as a result of agricultural disturbance in the medieval and early modern periods, when the site was not recognised as a monument and the stones were occasionally used as building material.<\/p><p>The tallest stones stand at the southwestern end of the complex. Several bear carvings \u2014 most visible are the cup marks (small circular depressions) and a set of crescent-shaped symbols on stones in the northern oval. The anthropomorphic carving on one stone near the centre of the complex, depicting what appears to be a simplified human form, is among the more unusual features; comparable figures appear at other Chalcolithic sites in the Alentejo but remain poorly understood.<\/p><p>The site is unfenced and unguarded. You walk directly among the stones. There are no roped-off zones, no barriers, and no guide present unless you have brought one. This is unusual for a monument of this significance, and it works both ways: the experience is completely unmediated, and so is any potential for damage. The stones have survived 7,000 years without a visitor management system. Whether that continues depends on whether visitor numbers stay manageable \u2014 which, given the access conditions, they currently do.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-becd21a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"becd21a\"

the most prominent site in a megalithic landscape that covers much of the Alentejo region. Within 30 km of \u00c9vora, there are several other significant monuments:<\/p><p><strong>Menhir dos Almendres<\/strong> \u2014 a single large standing stone approximately 1 km from the cromlech, likely the earliest phase of the same megalithic tradition. It stands alone in an olive grove.<\/p><p><strong>Anta Grande do Zambujeiro<\/strong> \u2014 the largest dolmen (megalithic tomb) in the Iberian Peninsula, located approximately 10 km southwest of \u00c9vora near Valverde. Its entrance corridor and capstone are among the largest of any dolmen in Europe.<\/p><p><strong>Cromeleque do Xerez<\/strong><\/p><div><p>a smaller stone square (not a circle \u2014 55 menhirs in a square formation) originally located near Reguengos de Monsaraz, approximately 55 km east of \u00c9vora. The complex was dismantled in November 2001 before the Alqueva reservoir flooded the area, and reinstalled near the Convento da Orada, in the village of Telheiro, in June 2004. It is the only megalithic monument relocated as part of the Alqueva reservoir project.<\/p><p>The density of megalithic monuments in the Alentejo suggests the region was a centre of Neolithic and Chalcolithic population and ritual activity \u2014 the stones were built and maintained by communities that farmed the same landscape over thousands of years. The Alentejo&#8217;s current agricultural identity (cork, olive, grain, sheep) has roots that are considerably older than the Roman occupation.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26cfa8a

Almendres Cromlech is located approximately 16 km west of \u00c9vora, near the village of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe. There is no public transport to the site. The route from \u00c9vora follows the N114 towards Montemor-o-Novo for approximately 8 km, then turns north onto the CM1075 through the village of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe; after the village the road becomes a dirt track for the final 3 km to the site. Brown and white &#8220;cromeleque&#8221; signs mark the turns.<\/p><p>The dirt track is navigable in a standard car in dry conditions. After rain, the surface can become soft in sections \u2014 a higher-clearance vehicle is preferable. There is a small unpaved parking area at the site. Parking is free.<\/p><p>From \u00c9vora by private car, the drive takes approximately 25 minutes each way. By taxi from \u00c9vora, the round trip with waiting time costs approximately \u20ac30\u201340, depending on the driver.

Temperatures are 15\u201322\u00b0C, the wildflowers are in bloom across the Alentejo plain, and the morning light on the stones between 07:00\u201309:00 is flat and low, revealing the carved symbols more clearly than midday sun. Crowds are minimal at any time of year, but spring sees the fewest visitors.<\/p><p><strong>Summer (June\u2013August)<\/strong> is difficult. \u00c9vora regularly reaches 38\u201340\u00b0C in July and August. The cromlech is fully exposed \u2014 no shade, no water source. If visiting in summer, arrive at opening (the site is accessible from sunrise) and leave before 10:00.<\/p><p><strong>Autumn (September\u2013October)<\/strong> is a reasonable alternative to spring: harvest activity in the surrounding fields, temperatures drop to 20\u201328\u00b0C by October, and the site is quieter than summer.<\/p><p><strong>Solstice visits<\/strong> are worth noting: the winter solstice sunrise (around December 21) aligns with the axis of the cromlech according to documented archaeoastronomical research. Several visitors specifically time visits to the solstice.
