Amoreira da Torre is a dolmen or anta located in Nossa Senhora da Vila, Montemor-o-Novo, in the Évora district. It was built in the Neo-Chalcolithic period like many other monuments of the same region and is possible to see it from the highway. The monument has no cover and only one of the chamber pillars remains standing, fragments of others are dispersed around the tumulus. The corridor is very long with about 6 m in length. This monument is not yet classified. Links and information sources (all texts written in Portuguese): - Portal do Arqueólogo Aditional information: - You are entering in private property but the access is possible. - The entrance to the zone of the monuments may be blocked by fences, they were essentially made to demarcate the land and not allow the escape of livestock. Usually there are spaces in the fences within these demarcated areas where the access is possible. When entering in demarcated land never forget to close the access gate of the location, you need to be very aware because cattle can escape. - There are no signs prohibiting us from entering so the access can be open but be careful when you explore every time you see this red plaques that alert you for the Hunting Zones. Remind yourself that usually hunters can only hunt at selected hunting days (Thursdays, Sundays and on public holidays).
