Évora's Absolute Essentials

Évora’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases layers of history from Roman ruins to Renaissance architecture. This collection features the 1st-century Roman Temple and the 16th-century University of Évora, the country's second oldest. Architectural highlights include the massive medieval Cathedral, the Manueline-style Royal Palace, and the Church of St. Francis, home to the famous Chapel of Bones. Central Giraldo Square and the Renaissance-era Fonte da Porta de Moura anchor the city's urban layout, while the Roman Baths offer a glimpse into ancient settlement life.
