Le cromlech des Almendres (cromeleque dos Almendres) est un site mégalithique situé sur une colline, près de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, à 12 km à l'ouest d'Évora, Portugal.

C'est le plus important complexe mégalithique de toute la péninsule Ibérique, non seulement en raison de sa taille, mais aussi pour son état de conservation. C'est aussi l'un des plus importants d'Europe.

Au Néolithique final, de nouveaux menhirs furent érigés à l'intérieur de l'enceinte ovale et des figures ou symboles sinueux en creux furent ajoutés à certains des monolithes déjà en place. Le menhir 48 présente une silhouette anthropomorphe cerclée et associée à des bâtons. Le menhir 57 présente treize bâtons sculptés en relief.


The Almendres cromlech (cromeleque dos Almendres) is a megalithic site located on a hill, near Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, 12 km west of Évora, Portugal.

It is the most important megalithic complex in the entire Iberian Peninsula, not only for its size, but also for its state of conservation. It is also one of the largest in Europe.

In the Late Neolithic, new menhirs were reinforced inside the oval enclosure and sunken sinuous figures or symbols were added to some of the monoliths already in place. Menhir 48 presents an anthropomorphic silhouette circled and associated with sticks. Menhir 57 has thirteen sticks sculpted in relief.
