The Cromlech of the Almendres (Portuguese: Cromeleque dos Almendres Cromeleque na Herdade dos Almendres) is a megalithic complex (commonly known as the Almendres Cromlech), located 4.5 road km WSW of the village of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, in the civil parish of Nossa Senhora da Tourega e Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, municipality of Ãâ°vora, in the Portuguese Alentejo. The largest existing group of structured menhirs in the Iberian Peninsula (and one of the largest in Europe), this archaeological site consists of several megalithic structures: cromlechs and menhir stones, that belong to the so-called "megalithic universe of Ãâ°vora", with clear parallels to other cromlechs in Ãâ°vora District, such as Portela Mogos and the Vale Maria do Meio Cromlech.[1]
