On the vast plateaus of Montemuro, time can be seen in stone. Between moss-covered mounds, solitary menhirs and ancient sacred circles, the landscape tells stories that date back to prehistoric times.
Near the wind farm, this ancient presence lives on. The Marco da Jogada and the tombs next to the chapel of São Pedro do Campo are just some of the landmarks that unite past and present.

Hiking
On the imposing plateaus of Montemuro, the landscape bears traces of human presence over the centuries. Here, among the first stone constructions in the region, there are prehistoric tombs, solitary menhirs and ancient sacred sites, such as cromlechs.
Here, near the wind farm, these traces of the past still echo. The Marco da Jogada and several mounds near the chapel of São Pedro do Campo are testament to this heritage. Interestingly, the sacred remains in these heights, where modern chapels stand not far from these ancient necropolises.
