ÉVORA CITY
MEGALITHIC MONUMENTS
By car, on foot, on a bicycle or in a 4WD, those are places that you must visit. We’re proud to have the biggest dolmen in Europe, the oldest cromlech and a huge menhir, all only a few kms from each other. If you want to go further you have many others to visit.
ALDEIA DA TERRA (CLAY VILLAGE)
A visit to Aldeia da Terra, in São Manços street, is recommended. Here we find fun representations of everyday life made in clay with great humor. Go with time because wealth is in the details.
