Marco de légua no sítio denominado Vale Carlos - Alenquer, Portugal - Património Português (Portuguese Heritage) on Waymarking.com

Probably built in 1788, making one of the constituent elements of the construction of the "Royal Road" designed to connect the cities of Lisbon and Coimbra, an initiative of Queen D. Maria I (1734-1816) under extensive renovation planned.

Of Baroque architecture, though behaving telltale aspects of neoclassical taste that began to thrive among us, this Marker reached us only in part, certainly for the destruction caused by his fragile location, on the one hand, and the gradual removal of the role that was originally granted, while it was legally protected right in the early forties of the twentieth century.
