Attractions and Places To See around Alegrete - Top 20

The Jardim do Fosso in Arronches is the beating heart of the social and cultural life of the municipality. It is a much-loved, carefully maintained public space, which has received recent improvements such as new street lighting and a fountain. The garden is a focal point for significant annual events, including the festivities of St. John and the Alto Alentejo Dog Show, making it a welcoming and dynamic place for residents and visitors.

The Dolmen del Mellizo, also known as Aceña Borrega or Anta de la Marquesa, has a thousand-year history. Although its exact origin is lost in time, it is believed that it was built between the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. This megalith follows the megalithic model known as “anta” in neighboring Portugal. The dolmen chamber is covered by a horizontal slab that protrudes from the roof, and although it is quite worn, the corridor and access to the chamber are still well preserved. In an archaeological excavation carried out in 1985, remains of funerary goods, such as ceramic fragments and arrowheads, were found. The Dolmen del Mellizo is a fascinating place that connects us with the people who built it thousands of years ago. 🌟

Since the Jardim do Fosso is one of the most coveted spaces for citizens and visitors to the Municipality, it is imperative that it is presented in the best conditions to receive them, so that the Municipality, in addition to the daily maintenance already carried out in the green spaces of the community, has done some work to add even more vibrancy to this place. Having already replaced the public lighting in this garden, the Arronches City Council installed a new water source that gives a new look to the space that hosts annual events such as the São João Balls or the Alto Alentejo Dog Show.
