Menir dos Almendres, Neolithic menhir in Nossa Senhora da Tourega e Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, Portugal
The Almendres Menhir stands 4.5 meters tall on the hillside, featuring an elongated ovoid shape with ancient carvings near its upper section.
This monolithic granite structure dates back to the Neolithic period between 5500 and 2000 BC, marking a significant period of megalithic construction.
The menhir forms part of the extensive megalithic complex near Évora, demonstrating early human astronomical knowledge through its summer solstice alignment.
Visitors can reach the menhir via a 3-kilometer dirt road from Guadalupe, with designated parking areas and informative signs guiding the way.
The stone structure maintains its original astronomical alignment with the Almendres Cromlech, located 1.4 kilometers away across the landscape.
