Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro in Evora

Nice and quiet place to visit. The road is a bit sandy but can be done.

An amazing place near Evora. Cork oak trees all around. Theres a cleared space for parking and a short walk to the funereal site.

Está cerrado, no se puede visitar y se ve solo por fuera. Bastante descuidado. Es gratuito y tiene un camino malom

Tumulus op niet toeristische plek. Verschillende andere archeologische vondsten rondom.Geen ticket.

O acesso não é muito facil derivado à estrada em más condições, mas depois de lá estar é impressionante como é que que conseguiam movel enormes pedras

Очень интересное место.Мегалит на уровне Стоунхеджа или Египетских пирамид.Очень древнее место и там целая долина вокруг такая.

Long drive from Evora plus either a long walk or potholed road to the site. The pictures posted for guided tours are very misleading.

This is basically a pile of rocks in the shape of a church or mausoleum, but the history behind it is astounding. It’s not every day that you come into contact with something like this — or at least that we know of. It’s worth the detour if you’re into ancient history and getting out in rural areas. The hike to the ruins is pretty fun, taking you past a cow farm along dirt road. Felt adventurous on a trip mostly marked by big cities and smaller towns.

Great tour with fully qualified guide. Left evora tourist office. Amazing

Um monumento com desgaste de séculos mas com muito interesse para entender a evolução humana.

Mooi dat het bewaard is gebleven en het ook beschermen tegen de elementen. De weg er naar toe is slecht

Experiência única, estrutura megalíitica datada entre 3000 e 4000 AC, está entre as maiores da Península Ibérica.

Per arrivarci lultimo chilometro circa da fare in auto è sterrato.Il luogo non è molto valorizzato e potrebbe deludere, ma racchiude un prezzo di storia.Accesso libero senza pagamenti di biglietti

is enormous a extraordinary expiriance its a fantastic expiriance truly fantastic not really possible to get inside. the surrounding stones are all connected to the monument. needs time to sink in. open space no tickets needed

Nice but not easy for handicapped.

Un monument assez impressionnant par sa taille exceptionnellepour lépoque. Ne pas hésiter à monter au sommet pour voir lintérieur.La tôle de protection gâche laspect esthétique.

Spectacular Dolmen many thousands of years old, well preserved and one of the largest still in existence.

Toffe camping, lekker onder de bomen, alles heel relaxed. Mooi winkeltje en zwembad.En het sanitair is mega schoon. Dichtbij t strand en kleine dorpje

Very interesting site, but the road is really rough. Large potholes make it almost impassable for a small rental car, and it was a concern that we could damage the bottom of the car. We drove very slowly and carefully… there were no other cars when we were there. But, the site is truly very fascinating and unique!

In the middle of nowhere with no-one around at all amazing place!

Very cool megalithic site. Had the whole site to ourselves. Road was in worse condition than previous reviewers experienced with large puddles and mud. Didnt think our small rental car would make it through so parked by the farm buildings and walked up. Only added a 10-15 minute walk. Ended up being a pretty walk and very worth it!

O acesso é ruim, com muitos buracos na estrada de terra, mas é curto. Depois, passa uma pinguela tb em más condições e logo chega ao localÉ uma obra impressionante, se considerarmos quando foi deita.

El monumento es impresionante, no hay duda, pero es una pena que la información que hay de él sea tan escasa. Llegas a el sin problema a través de la ubicación de Google ya que si tienes que seguir las indicaciones de las carreteras no llegas, fijo. También es una pena que no haya un centro de interpretación que explique la gran importancia de este yacimiento

Nunca pensamos hallar una construcción megalítica de este tamaño. Configura una estructura sumamente compleja en la forma en que ha sido realizada, más teniendo en cuenta los alrededor de 5000 años que tiene de edificado. Impresionante!

A highly significant site ... perhaps disappointing it is not better presented

The great dolmen of Zambujeiro is a must-see monument, if for no other reason than its status as the largest dolmen in megalithic Europe. The site has many other attractions, in spite of the sloppy archaeological restoration that was inflicted on it during the twentieth century. One hopes that the dolmen will be restored to something resembling its original grandeur. Zambujeiro was constructed into the side of a hill and is generally oriented east/west, similar to its close neighbor, the Cromlech of Almendres. The monument’s width is between 5 to 6 meters across and 4 to 5 meters high. It is braced in several areas by flat stone piles, and its broken capstone has been removed and lies to the west nearby. The monument is easy to reach by car and well signposted. It is popular with New Agers, Neopagans, and neoshamans, many of whom come from long distances to practice their rituals of nature spirituality. During my site visits I have discovered several small stone altars in the dolmen’s central chamber. Zambujeiro was classified a national monument November 22, 1971.

É a anta maior da Península Hiberica, impressionante o tamanho das pedras. Uma pena que o acesso por carro seja quase impossivel e o monumento não está cuidado

Uno dei tre principali siti megalitici alle porte di Evora. Camera funeraria ben conservata.

já fui já, é grande e imponente, mas está retocada também. Vale a pena para quem tem sensibilidades para temas histórico-patrimoniais, naturalmente.

Neat little stop on our road trip! Worth the detour if you are driving through!

Brilliant place

Just out of Evora

特殊墓穴位置，磁場不佳能量低下者小心，樣式奇特，石頭巨大，值得參觀，開車近入土路時路況較顛簸。

Very impressive!Sadly very damaged..

Largely complete dolmen. You can walk round it and look in the top thanks to the terrain. Track to drive up is rough but not nearly as bad as at Almendres Cromlech.

Lohnt sich aber Auto lieber schonen und letzte 500 Meter laufen. In den Schlaglöchern könnten Kinder spielen oder ein ganzes Auto verschwindet...Nach der gut beschilderten aber schrecklich kaputten Anfahrt ist es ein sehr beeindruckender Dolmen. Soll der größte überhaupt sein.Leider vor Ort eine Tafel mit zweisprachigen Infos, die jedoch nicht mehr lesbar ist (06/2019aber in der Nähe aktuelle Beschreibung fotografiert, siehe Fotos.Anreise aus z.B. Evora lohnt sich. Für echte Megalith Fans auch eine Rundreise durch ES Extremadura (Lacarna etcund PT Alentejo wert.

Este dólmen, en los alrededores de Évora, cerca de Valverde, data con menos de 6000 años de existencia.La Anta Grande do Zambujeiro es un monumento funerario colectivo. O sea, las antas (o dólmenesservían para sepultar los muertos. Este dólmen específico cerca de Évora tiene un largo corredor que lleva a la cámara. Todo era cubierto por la mámoa, una cobertura protectora normalmente hecha de tierra y piedras.En la Anta Grande do Zambujeiro se puede aún ver parte de la mámoa. Los pilares de granito, con 6 metros de altura, hacen con que sea (probablementela más alta anta del mundo. Es considerada patrimonio de interés nacional en Portugal.

Must see if you have never seen one. But dont just show up. Book a guided tour to take you here and a couple other places. It was one of the best activities we did in Portugal.

What a pity that it is broken. It was the biggest dolmen we ever saw. It should be restored.

Breathtaking under appreciated and historically important

While visiting the other menhirs you can visit this one, this is the biggest one. This was a place where the dead were buried. You cant enter it though (and its not as big as you would think it would befor safety reasons. You can walk around it and watch inside from the top, but its just empty. Its located a bit remotely and the road leading to it is really a crater landscape with deep pits and many rocks. The location where its situated is pretty cool and desolate.

A little off the beaten path, but worth the trip.

well worth the detour

Awesome example of a Neolithic structure. A sobering example of early amateur archeologists destruction of history in the name of contemporary culture. Soon to be lost to the elements. Truly sad!

Zufahrt ist etwas ruppig und führt durch eine Art Quinta vorbei an Rindern. Man hat das Gefühl, man wäre verkehrt, aber am Ende findet man das kleine Hünengrab, was durch eine Blechdach Überdachung geschützt wird.

Amazing prehistoric site. Immense rocks forming a pathway to a huge Dolmen. Three kilometers of rutted dirt road to the parking lot and another 1/2 kilometer walking to the site itself. No services, no amenities, almost no people. and very impressive.

A very interesting and mysterious site.The access road is an unsurfaced track, and a bit bumpy in places - ok for a regular car, but need to be careful!

Interesting and mysterious journey into history.

One of the biggest and oldest stones in the peninsula, saddly its been boarded up for health and safety reasons, dont want megatonne stones falling on people.

Cool.
