What to expect

  1. Capela dos Ossos
    1h
    A 17th century building that aims to convey the message of the transience of life. With a more earthly purpose, the placement of the bones in the chapel was intended to eliminate some cemeteries surrounding Évora, allowing new constructions in the city. Dedicated to Senhor dos Passos, it has purposely dim lighting.
    Free entry and visit.
  2. Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana)
    1h
    It is one of the largest and best preserved Roman temples in the Iberian Peninsula. Along with the Chapel of Bones, it is the postcard presentation of Évora. It is over 2,000 years old and was built as a tribute to Emperor Augustus, forming part of what would later become the Roman Forum.
    Appreciation of the site and photographs.
  3. Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora)
    1h
    This is a 12th century church, a transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic period. Like the Lisbon and Porto Cathedrals, its façade is dominated by two towers that flank the entrance to the central nave, where the main altarpiece is located. It contains a series of works of sacred art in its treasury.
    Visit the site.
  4. Evora
    2h
    Passage through the place
  5. Vila Vicosa
    2h
    Occupied since Roman times, it also had an Arab presence. It has a castle and in the 14th century it became the seat of the Duchy of Braganza, which eventually gave rise to the Braganza Dynasty. As a result, the town lost its splendor and ended up becoming a holiday resort for the royal family.
    Tour through the most attractive places of interest and stop at these points to tell stories and discover interesting facts.
  6. Praca do Giraldo
    Pass by
    Built between 1571 and 1573, Praça do Giraldo is an icon of the city of Évora. Here you will find the Church of Santo Antão, as well as several restaurants and local shops and the famous Fountain, classified as a National Monument since 1910, which has eight spouts that, according to tradition, correspond to the eight streets that lead into the square.

    A stop to rest and tell stories about the place.
  7. Igreja da Graca
    Pass by
    This 14th century Renaissance monument became a military barracks in the 19th century, and much of its contents were lost at this time. It was restored in the second half of the 20th century, but unfortunately important parts of the building's architecture have already been lost.

    Visit the site and enjoy the view.
