Galeria dolménica e Anta na Herdade da Negrita

Portugal's megaliths cluster in the Alentejo, around Évora, in what has been called the "megalithic universe of Évora". The Almendres Cromlech is the largest group of structured menhirs in the Iberian Peninsula, and one of the largest in Europe, with about 95 granite monoliths in small groups. Construction there is said to go back to the sixth millennium BCE, which would make it among the earliest standing stones in Europe; the older Early Neolithic stones form concentric circles in the western part, while Middle Neolithic structures consist of two ellipses and large menhirs. The site was rediscovered in 1966 by Henrique Leonor Pina. The regional background, “Megaliths of Portugal”, is given below.
