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.

Monsaraz is a medieval village surrounded by a wall, guarded by an imposing castle, located at its highest point. It is one of the oldest settlements in Portugal, and a must-see on a tour of the Alentejo. The village of Monsaraz is a parish in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The village has around 800 inhabitants and looks like a place that has stopped in time, without changing its style for centuries.

Monsaraz, the graceful medieval village of Monsaraz, maintains the magic from ancient times like few others in the world. Made of lime and schist, this place whispers us, between the echo of our footsteps in its streets. A lot of magnificent stories could be told about its courageous kings, Knights Templar, brave people and dames of simple beauty.

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.

Monsaraz is a small town and the best way to get to know it is on foot, wandering its streets and alleys. It's a real pleasure to stroll through the narrow streets paved with shale, to walk along the narrow streets, to turn corners to discover yet another quaint little house, a door you want to go through, a window from which you want to gaze into the distance.

Castelo de Monsaraz is a castle in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal. It is classified as a National Monument. The construction works began after the Christian reconquest and extended for several reigns. Looking to increase the population and its defense, King D. Afonso III began the construction of the new alcazar and its five square towers.

The Church of Monsaraz, or Church of Our Lady of Lagoa, was built in the 16th century and rebuilt on two occasions, once following the earthquake of 1755 and once a century later. This church has a façade with two towers and an ogival head. Inside, it houses a 14th-century marble tomb carved with 14 saints and where the remains of Tomás Martins rest. Outside, next to the church, stands an 18th-century pillory (stone pillory) crowned by a Manueline globe. Opposite this pillory is the Church of Misericórdia and, next to it, the Museum of Sacred Art.
