Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro
Anta Grande do Zambujeiro
One of the largest prehistoric dolmens in Europe, with chamber stones about 6 meters high, now covered by a protective shelter.
The Zambujeiro Dolmen was built around 4000 to 3000 BC. Its burial chamber is surrounded by seven stones about 6 meters high, and its passage is about 12 meters long. It is one of the largest passage tombs in the Iberian Peninsula, and artifacts found here are now held at the Évora Museum. The site is located in a cork oak forest. Entry is free, but visitors can only view it from outside the perimeter. It is about 12 km from Évora and can be combined with a visit to the Almendres Cromlech, though the final section is a dirt road.
