The Episcopal Palace Gardens in Castelo Branco, Portugal, are a magnificent example of the Baroque style in the country. These gardens were commissioned by the Bishop of Guarda, D. João de Mendonça, in the 18th century. These gardens are ideal for a romantic visit or a family outing.

On the Spanish side, the bridge is located in the municipality of Alcántara in the province of Cáceres. It is reached via the regional highway EX-207 from the nearby town of Piedras Albas. On the Portuguese side, it connects with a local road to reach the town of Segura, from which this bridge takes its name. It was built in the Roman province of Lusitania to give continuity to the Roman road that connected Norba Caesarina (on the Via de la Plata) with the civitas Egitania (Idanha-a-Velha, Portugal) and with Bracara Augusta (Braga, Portugal), in order to save the Erjas river. This river marks the border line between Spain and Portugal, and the bridge serves as an international crossing between both countries.

Piedras Albas is a Spanish municipality located in the province of Cáceres, in the autonomous community of Extremadura. It is located 74 km west of the provincial capital and 7 km from the border with Portugal. Surrounded by the municipality of Alcántara, this town has an interesting history. The name “Piedras Albas” probably refers to the white quartzite ridges present in its surroundings. In the past, there was a border post next to the Roman bridge of Segura over the Erjas river, and a customs office in the same town.

The menhir is located on a small hill or headland, hence its name. It is one of the few known menhirs in Alta Extremadura and, perhaps, one of the oldest megaliths in the region.

La Peña Buraca de Alcántara is already an Asset of Cultural Interest in Extremadura with the category of archaeological zone. La Peña Buraca, also known as Canchal de los Ojos, is the most representative element of this enclave that, even though it is very close to Piedras Albas, belongs to the municipality of Alcántara.
