In the region of Vila do Bispo it is possible to visit some of the menhirs models that make up the largest concentration of megalithic monuments existing in the Iberian Peninsula. These stone monuments were built during the Prehistory and are probably among the oldest, as evidence suggests they date back to 6,500 years ago.
