Menir da Abelhoa, Granite menhir in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal
The Menir da Abelhoa rises 4 meters high with a diameter of 1 meter, displaying ancient carvings on its granite surface.
Archaeologists discovered and raised this fallen megalithic monument in 1970, reconstructing its base to maintain the structure's stability for future generations.
This prehistoric standing stone represents early human settlements in the Alentejo region, forming part of an extensive network of megalithic monuments.
Visitors reach the menhir through marked paths near Telheiro and Outeiro villages, with designated parking spaces available at the site entrance.
The stone contains specific markings that researchers study to understand the astronomical knowledge and ritualistic practices of Neolithic communities.
