Impressive, if you like megalithic monuments you'll love this!!! Take your times they let you roam almost everywhere giving you the chance to see the monuments up close and personal. Buy the leaflet at the reception, it comes in different languages and is really good, All the artefacts found in the excavation are now in different museums in Portugal but the centre has a good exhibition with all types of explanations of the site and megalithic monuments in Portugal and elsewhere. Good library as well.
