Alter do Chão is a historic town located in the Portalegre District of eastern Portugal. Founded in the 12th century, this municipality is known for its rich equestrian heritage, particularly as the home of the Alter Real State Stud Farm (Coudelaria de Alter Real), established in 1748 by King João V.

The town's cultural heritage is also reflected in its architectural landmarks, including the 16th-century Castle of Alter do Chão and several historic churches. The region's traditional crafts and local gastronomy contribute to its cultural identity, while its location in the Alto Alentejo region provides a characteristic landscape of rolling plains and cork oak forests.
