PortugalThe Cromlech of the 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 Évora, in the Portuguese Alentejo [1]. The excavation of the site unearthed a series of both megalithic and neolithic construction phases; Almendres I 6000 BC, Almendres II 5000 BC, and Almendres III 4000 BC [1]. The complex, organized in a circular pattern, is marked by a forest of about 95 granite monoliths, deposited in small groups [1]. The older monoliths are formed as two or three concentric circles of smaller monoliths in the western part of the complex, while the Middle Neolithic structures consist of two ellipses (irregular but concentric) and large menhirs [1].
