Évora: a paradise beyond the Tagus River

Évora, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, has a very important cultural and architectural wealth ranging from monuments from Roman times to great examples of the Manueline style. This city was especially outstanding in the 16th century, when it became a cultural reference point.

Among the large number of monuments that are spread throughout the city, we can point out as the most emblematic: the cathedral, the church of São Francisco, the Capela dos Ossos, the Palace of D. Manuel, the Roman Temple or the Praça do Giraldo.
