Barrow Cemetery in Évora
From the N373 you enter the gravel road to the Sanctuáry a Endovélico.
The last part you have to walk. Take the road at the right along the few buildings to reach the necropole..
At the far end of the hilltop is a round building for cattle, and in the middle you will find the Sanctuáry a Endovélico. Partly overgrown with bushes.
Once it must have had a very broad view over the valley below.
Around this part of the hill are many other old artifacts, such as the small square waterpit, still with water in it and made of one piece. And maybe there are other graves as we saw many of the forms with an uostanding stone.
It was a special walk to a remote megalithic site in the Évora - Alentejo area.
