Lake Alqueva Observatory

The Lake Alqueva Observatory is an astronomy observatory that promotes the link between the general public and the knowledge of our Universe. The Stargazing session consist of a guided tour of the magnificent night sky of Monsaraz, where one can learn the orientarion by the North Star, identify the constellations and know their legends, relate stellar colours with their ages, observe star clusters, nebulas and distante galaxies with the help of our telescopes. The explanations are presented with clear examples and simple language by OLA's guides. When the weather is cloudy, we resort to a simulation using astronomy software.
