The size and number of megalithic monuments in Évora are associated with the fact that this region is the only place where the river basins of the Tejo, Sado, and Guadiana, the largest rivers in southern Portugal, meet. For this reason, it was an essential crossing point.
Megalithic monuments (i.e., made of large stones) therefore appear in the Évora region because the Alentejo plains were perfect for the last hunter-gatherer communities to practice their way of life there.
