Rocha da Mina (Alandroal) is a pré-roman sanctuary, eventually devoted to the celtic god Endovellicus, with some rock cut features, such as a stair, a well and an altar.
See http://www.crookscape.org/news.html


The location of this santuary, in a difficult landscape, seems tighly related to a bend of the River Lucefece.
