Cromeleque dos Almendres, the oldest Cromlech in the Southern Europe and one of the largest in Europe, is 2000 years older than Stonehenge. The smaller ring to the east contains the oldest stones and was constructed during the early Neolithic (6,000bc) era. The larger oval ring was built during the middle Neolithic (approximately 5,000bc) era. In the third stage of use, around 3,000bc, many of the stones were repositioned to align with the moon, the sun, and the stars. It is predicted that the site was used as an important religious site by a religion that had possessed an in-depth understanding of celestial motions and star alignments. Interestingly, all of the ring formations are aligned with the largest of the granite standing stones. I love that you can stand right next to the stones and even touch them if you wanted to (I didn't to preserve them from human oils)
