    The Xerez Cromlech stands on open land, close to the Convent of Orada, and with a view of the walls of Monsaraz. It is the second "home" to prevent it from being submerged by the Alqueva dam.

    The 55 granite menhirs of the Xerez Cromlech have already been to other places because they were moved here, to the vicinity of the village of Telheiro, in 2004, to prevent submersion by the Alqueva dam.

    The cromlech was in front of Monte Xerez, close to a dolmen, about 5km from Monsaraz.

    Easy to find and what a surprise a square stone circle! The center stone has interesting markings. I really enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend a visit.
