Evora

Time travel between Lisbon and Évora

Evora District

Évora center, where you can walk through Giraldo Plaza, taste the local gastronomy, and explore this World Heritage of UNESCO. With a key role in different eras of the Portuguese monarchy, Évora has an immense legacy of historical references. The Roman temple is believed to have been constructed around the first century A.D. in honor of Augustus, who was venerated as a god during and after his rule, and was built in the main public square of Évora, at the time called Liberalitas Iulia.

Igreja de Sao Francisco

A church of Gothic-Manueline architecture. Built between 1480 and 1510 by masters of Pedraria Martim Lourenço and Pero de Trilho and decorated by the royal painters Francisco Henriques, Jorge Afonso and Garcia Fernandes, it is closely linked to the historical events that marked the period of maritime expansion in Portugal. This is evident in the symbols of the monumental nave of the vaulting vault: the cross of the Order of Christ and the emblems of the founding kings, D. João II and D. Manuel I. According to tradition, Gil Vicente was buried in this church in 1536. This is a private tour; all of our suggested timings and stops can be adapted to your preferences or needs; just let us know, and we'll do it.

Capela dos Ossos

The chapel was built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the place of the primitive dormitory of the friars. Its construction was based on the initiative of three Franciscan friars who wanted to provide a better reflection on the brevity of human life. The chapel consists of bones from the graves of the convent church and other churches and cemeteries in the city. The walls and part of the vaults of the chapel are covered with thousands of human bones, which illustrate the idea of the founding monks, expressed in the phrase above the porch of the chapel: We bone that we are here, for your hope. This is a private tour; all of our suggested timings and stops can be adapted to your preferences or needs; just let us know, and we'll do it.
