Alto de São Bento
Date Added: 21st Dec 2022
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Portugal (Évora)
Visited: Yes on 21st Dec 2022. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 4
Alto de São Bento submitted by TheCaptain on 11th Nov 2019. Little remains to be seen of the prehistoric settlement which existed on this fine granite hilltop from 7000 years ago, which was the very origins of the fabulous and historic city of Évora.
Today this hilltop is topped with the remains of several windmills, and provides fantastic views over the city of Évora and all around the Alentejo region.

Log Text: I visited this place for its high position in the landscape and views of Évora. I was unaware of any ancient village. Three windmills dominate the peak, standing on granite extrusions, with several radio or telephone masts just beyond them.
The central windmill carries a notice indicating it to be some kind of museum or interpretation centre, but it was locked on the day of my visit.
