Almendres Cromlech, Stone circle in Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, Portugal

The archaeological complex consists of ninety-five granite monoliths arranged in concentric circles, covering an area of seventy by forty meters.

Built between 6000 BC and 4000 BC, this megalithic complex underwent three construction phases during the Early, Middle, and Late Neolithic periods.

The monoliths display engravings of various symbols, including lines, radials, crosiers, crescents, and human figures, representing prehistoric ritual practices.

Located 12 kilometers from Evora, this archaeological site remains accessible throughout the day and integrates with the region's megalithic walking routes.

Monolith number eight features a flat top surface with dimples, specifically positioned for astronomical observations during the spring equinox.
