Evora
Wander its streets and absorb the secret soul that a diverse range of cultural influences has laid down in this city of the World. There are also excellent restaurants and bars, esplanades, arts and handicraft stores and the youthful nature of those attending its university all adding up to a dynamic of the present with its roots very firmly in the past.
1 hourTemplo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana)
Its original Roman design was only recovered in the 19th century, in one of the first archaeological interventions in Portugal. It is a testimony to the Roman forum of the city of Évora, consecrated to the Imperial cult, thus clarifying a 17th-century tradition that claimed that the temple had been consecrated to the goddess Diana. For this reason, it was identified for many years as the Temple of Diana. Recent excavations have shown that it was surrounded by a portico and water mirror.
30 minutesIgreja de Sao Francisco
The Church of St. Francis is deeply linked to the history of Portugal, more precisely to the events that marked the period of maritime expansion. This connection can be seen in the symbols of the magnificent nave with the vault: the cross of the Order of Christ and the emblems of the founding kings, King John II and King Manuel I.
30 minutesCathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora)
