For the Portuguese, Olivenza is Portuguese land, since it was taken by the Spanish during the Napoleonic Wars and should have been returned, but this never happened. Currently, Portugal offers Portuguese nationality to all Olivenza residents who request it and prove they had Portuguese ancestors. Mixed marriages have always existed, and neither the Portuguese nor the Spanish are interested in waging war. This is a lesson for humanity: a disputed territory that unites two brotherly peoples.

Olivenza is a historical and cultural gem in the province of Badajoz, with a unique blend of Spanish and Portuguese influences. Olivenza was Portuguese for over 500 years (1297-1801) and still preserves bilingual inscriptions and Portuguese architecture. Portugal continues to symbolically claim sovereignty, even though the town is fully integrated into Spain.

This road is paved with less grade than going directly through the village

Despite the disagreement between Portugal and Spain over the Olivença Question, the issue has not caused friction in relations between the two Iberian countries. Olivença and the Spanish border municipalities of La Codosera, Alburquerque and Badajoz, and the Portuguese municipalities of Arronches, Campo Maior, Estremoz, Portalegre and Elvas, reached an agreement in 2008 with a view to creating a Euroregion. The Treaty of Alcanizes of 1297 established Olivença as part of Portugal. In 1801, through the Treaty of Badajoz, denounced in 1808 by Portugal, the territory was annexed to Spain. In 1817, Spain recognized Portuguese sovereignty by subscribing to the Congress of Vienna of 1815, committing to the return of the territory as soon as possible. However, to this day, this has not yet happened. Therefore, the boundary markers between the confluence of the Caia River with the Guadiana River and the confluence of the Cuncos River with the Guadiana River, numbered 802 to 89, have yet to be placed.

This is a typical Alentejo rurality construction, consisting of: narthex, nave, chancel, baptistery and sacristy. Inside, the chancel, one can see a mural musicians with angels in female attire and tiles, the latter, replaced during the restoration, in 1996, as happened with the pavement.

At the top of the Serra d’Ossa, at an altitude of 650 metres, stands the Alto de São Gens. Among the ruins of the old chapel dedicated to the saint, memories of an occupation that dates back more than three millennia, to the Bronze and Iron Ages, echo. This archaeological site, shrouded in legend and symbolism, was later associated by the monks of the Congregation of São Paulo with the mythical Mount of Venus, the refuge of Viriato, the legendary Lusitanian leader who, according to tradition, descended from here to confront the Romans.

This is a work of art. It is a tribute to Alentejo singing and is located near the Alqueva Viewpoint, as well as the Rota dos Menires and the Churches of Monsaraz.

What's particularly interesting about the Xerez stone group is its square shape. The menhir is located in the center, surrounded by smaller stones. A concrete path leads from the Orada Monastery to it—is this really necessary? A regular path would certainly have sufficed. The entire area appears very neglected.

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.

The Menhir do Outeiro (in Portuguese: Menir do Outeiro), also known as Menhir no Sítio do Penedo Comprido, is a megalith located halfway between the villages of Outeiro and Barrada, in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, in the district of Évora, in the Alentejo region of Portugal, just a few kilometres from the Portuguese-Spanish border. This menhir was discovered in 1969 by Henrique Leonor Pina and José Pires Gonçalves and, on their initiative, it was raised again around 1970. The menhir was classified as a Portuguese National Monument in 1971.

Located near Monsaraz, the Convento da Orada stands out in the Alentejo plains. Its church is linked to the name of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, the Holy Constable who prayed here between his battles against the Castilians. The Convento da Orada was built between 1700 and 1741 and housed the Order of the Discalced Augustinians until the beginning of the 19th century. The Convento is currently managed by the Fundação do Convento da Orada, which promotes the safeguarding of the architectural, cultural and artistic heritage.
