A walk up the (relatively) steep steps to this 'must see' monument on the 'mountain' top is highly recommended. The ruins are spread out over a large but easily accessed area and looked particularly beautiful among the Alentejo spring plants and flowers. The views of the surrounding countryside are stunning.

The guide introduces you in a perfect English to a unique experience: discovering paintings from the Neolithics into a cave preserved enough to let you feel you're back to the stone age. Kids do appreciate the visit too: horses, aurochs, bones... With such an archeological material, it's almost a pity not to have more information about it.

Excelente espaço, com um melhor ambiente este ano. Bastantes sombras disponíveis, relva a necessitar de alguns cuidados bem como os recipientes para colocar o lixo. Demonstra algum desleixo nos poucos equipamentos, mas pelo menos a zona de ondas este ano esteve a trabalhar. Bar com algumas variedades nas refeições rápidas e com preços acessíveis face ao sítio. Valores de entrada excelentes. Nadadores salvadores com alguma atenção, embora aplicando mais atenção ao facto de passar pelo duche em vez de terem essas posturas firmes nas perigosas zonas de saltos, aí sim sem qualquer chamada de atenção. Excelente espaço para um dia agradável, bem perto de Lisboa.

Unusual place. To get here. A few kilometers between fields and cows. Enjoy Te countryside, stop to take pictures but be cautious because the road is narrow. And go slow or you going to pass this chapel. Made from pre historical rocks, stop to take a picture. Not a must buy pretty different!!!!

This Church is located more in the city centre in the “Largo Doutor António José de Almeida”.
The Foundation of this church was a small “Ermida” dated from the end of the 15th century, nothing very special but place to visit when you are in the village.

Un altro sito megalitico della zona. Si tratta di due menhir abbattuti di cui uno a parallelepipedo e uno ovoidale. C’è una piccola spiegazione. Percorso a piedi non molto agevole per cui è consigliato solo per appassionati del genere o se si vuol fare una passeggiata.

Nell’area dell’Alentejo sono numerosi i siti megalitici. Quello di Anta Grande de Comenda da Igreja è un grande dolmen funerario con blocchi alti fino a sei metri e un corridoi di una decina. Appare ben conservato ed è una struttura suggestiva oltre che interessante per gli appassionati di archeologia.
