Évora District Highlights

The Évora District showcases Alentejo’s architectural evolution, from the 6,000-year-old megalithic stones of Almendres Cromlech to the 110-meter marble facade of the Paço Ducal de Vila Viçosa. This selection features strategic medieval fortifications like the circular Arraiolos Castle and the ruins of Montemor-o-Novo. It also highlights regional history through the 18th-century marble craftsmanship of the Chafariz de Borba and the historical weight of Paço dos Henriques, where the Treaty of Alcáçovas was signed in 1479.
