The Anta da Candeeira, or Anta da Herdade da Candeeira, is one of the many megalithic remains that dot the Alentejo, more precisely in the district of Évora.
In the Portuguese lexicon, “anta” refers to the approximately five thousand megalithic monuments (or dolmens) spread across the west of the Iberian Peninsula. These enigmatic stone structures were built during the Neolithic period by communities that inherited the Cardial or Impressa cultures. Silent testimonies of a distant past, they continue to fascinate those who venture into these lands of history and stone.
