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.

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.

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.
