This site stands in an area characterized by the natural beauty of the interior of Portugal, where the landscape is shaped by a varied topography, with elevations and valleys that provide a serene environment conducive to contemplation. Its position allows visitors to immerse themselves in a geographical context where nature manifests itself in an imposing manner.
This rock is a rock formation of remarkable dimensions, a true force of nature that stands out in the landscape. Its designation as "megalithic" refers to the monumental scale of the stone, which has imposed itself through millions of years of geological processes. This stony mass is an example of the robustness and antiquity of the territory, serving as a silent witness to geological evolution and, perhaps, to the human presence that may have roamed there over millennia. Its massive structure invites reflection on the vastness of time.

The surrounding vegetation, sometimes dense, contributes to the atmosphere of tranquility and discovery, making the visit an immersion in an environment where nature prevails. This place offers a unique perspective on the surrounding environment, inviting a deep experience of contact with the natural landscape and the geological history of the region.
