Evora is a city that resembles a Portuguese art history book.
The best way to visit it is on foot, walking through the narrow streets of white houses to discover the monuments and details that reveal the history of Evora and the richness of its heritage.
Due to its quiet and welcoming environment, it is easy to understand why this city, originated in Roman times, was chosen as the place to live by the kings of Portugal in the 15th century, a fact that contributed to the development and cultural importance that it had in the following centuries. In fact, it was its long history and the fact that it has preserved a representative urban ensemble from the 16th to 18th centuries to the present day, that led UNESCO to classify Evora as a World Heritage Site.
The Giraldo Square is the heart of the city and a meeting point par excellence, with cafes, esplanades, shops and the touristic office. At one end of the city there is the Santo Antao Church and the marble fountain with 8 spouts, representing the 8 streets that lead there.
Starting from the arcades in Giraldo Square, take a first tour of the main points of interest: the Temple and the Roman baths, the medieval walls, the Cathedral, the Graca Church and the Sao Francisco Church, with its curious Bones´ Chapel.
The Se tower and the Temple are ex-libris of the city and will be part of the photo album.
The Se Tower is easily recognized by its particular shape: a combination of conical towers, which is unusual in the Portuguese architecture. In the middle of the city, it can be a good guide to see where you are.
Really close, in the Conde Vila Flor square, stands out the great Temple of Roman origin, a symbol of the imperial cult, which for centuries was thought to be dedicated to the goddess Diana.
Evora is an inspiring city with plenty to discover.
