We are in the Central Alentejo, in the district of Évora, in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo, to visit the parish of São Cristovão. Halfway between Montemor-o-Novo and Alcácer do Sal, São Cristovão is a village on the sea plain on the way to the beaches. The origin of this village is closely linked to a legend, in which Saint Christopher is credited with choosing the location of the church, which is why the people chose this Saint as their Patron Saint and the unifying symbol of their Faith. The narrow valley of the Ribeira de São Cristovão is home to several "monuments" of natural architecture. On the edge of the village is the Church of São Cristovão, built in the 16th century. Inside it is a curious 16th century sculpture of the Patron Saint. The visit to São Cristovão continues with a trip to the so-called "Heel of the World" and the megalithic complex of Tojal. The "Heel of the World" is a large rock in the narrow and impressive valley of the Ribeira de São Cristovão. The foundation of this parish must have been before 1534. The old parish of São Cristovão, in the Montemor-o-Novo area, was a parish under the presentation of the Archbishop of Évora. Its economic activity is based on agriculture, livestock farming, baking and cattle breeding. São Cristovão is a white and welcoming village, smiling at each visitor, a natural heritage open to those who know how to discover it. It is undoubtedly worth a visit, especially for lovers of Alentejo cuisine.

Unfortunately, access is currently restricted and there is a fence around the site. The vegetation needs to recover so that the soil is protected against erosion again.
