Vila do Bispo
-
The landscape around Vila do Bispo is rich with evidence of the Algarve’s prehistoric past. Mysteriousmenhirs , also known as megaliths, dot the countryside. Near Monte dos Amantes, a number of these stones, some bearing crudely carved crosses, appear to form a circle. Archaeologists speculate this could be the site of the mythical Church of the Raven, supposedly where the remains of St Vincent were interred before being taken to Lisbon.
