Standing tall on a hilly ridge in the northern part of Portugal's Algarve, Vilarinha 2 is a gorgeous red sandstone menir, part of an alignment of four. Wave-like serpentiform carvings can still be seen (on the lower part of its left edge & centre).

The Anta Lapeira enjoying the shade on a sunny Alentejo day, while the neighbouring farmhouse basks in the sun. Who's going to weather the next five thousand years better?

This beautiful chapel in the centre of the town of Pavia in Portugal's Alentejo region dates back six thousand years! It became a Christian chapel (to Saint Dinis) on the 17th century but it was originally a prehistoric "anta" or dolmen.
