Very transformed but space that retains its prehistoric charm.

Unfortunately, it cannot be visited, a real shame. We have visited similar, and always someone to show it, but not in Spain....

It is not currently open and the attention they give in the office is terrible, they answer you angrily as if you offended them for asking when you will be able to visit the monument. In short, what happens in our land is a shame, both for not being able to see it because it is on private property, and for the sympathy of the attention.

Magical place of enormous cultural interest with possible access through the gate next to the agricultural path. Entry inside is not possible even when it is closed, there is a lack of care around it and the information signs are not very legible. Aoesar de tudo is worth a visit due to its state of conservation.

Wonderful Chalcolitic Tholos for which it is more than worth visiting Jerez de los Caballeros, a town that also has many other attractions to offer. Well restored and not signposted at all, you have to make an appointment at the tourist office. You can access the monument by car without problem if you go with children or people with reduced mobility.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
