What to expect
Roman Temple of Évora
Heralded as one of the most preserved Roman structures on the Iberian Peninsula, the Roman Temple, often called the Temple of Diana, serves as a testament to the city's ancient significance. Thought to be constructed around the first century A.D., its Corinthian columns stand proudly against time, with the temple's original purpose believed to be dedicated to Emperor Augustus. The visit is from the outside.
Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora)
A mesmerizing blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, the Évora Cathedral is the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal. Its robust granite exterior conceals a sacred world within, featuring magnificent choir stalls, a Renaissance altar, and the statue of Our Lady of the Assumption. The visit is from the outside.
Chapel of Bones
A thought-provoking site, the Chapel of Bones, is lined with the bones and skulls of over 5,000 individuals. Built by Franciscan monks in the 16th century, it serves as a solemn reminder of life's transience with the inscription "We bones, lying here, for yours await." The visit is from the outside.
Praca do Giraldo
The heart of Évora, Giraldo Square, has witnessed centuries of history from medieval fairs to Inquisition burnings. Today, it stands as a lively space, surrounded by Gothic arches, Moorish details, and inviting cafes, making it a perfect spot to embrace local life. The visit is from the outside.
University of Evora
Founded in the 16th century by Cardinal Infante Dom Henrique, the University of Évora, once a Jesuit institution, is now an epitome of Renaissance architecture in Portugal. Its illustrious past echoes in its classrooms, with a beautiful cloistered courtyard standing as its centerpiece. The visit is from the outside.
Centro Interpretativo dos Almendres
A short drive from Évora, the Almendres Cromlech is a neolithic complex that predates Stonehenge. This ceremonial site, arranged in an elliptical formation, showcases 95 granite monoliths and provides a unique insight into ancient Iberian rituals and beliefs. The visit is from the outside.
