Évora's Sacred Sites

Évora's religious landscape spans centuries, beginning with the 1st-century Roman Temple dedicated to the imperial cult. The city’s Christian heritage is anchored by the 12th-century Cathedral, the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal, and the Church of St. Francis, home to the 16th-century Chapel of Bones. The collection includes the Carthusian monastery of Scala Coeli, Manueline-style chapels, and churches adorned with intricate 18th-century azulejo tilework, reflecting the city's deep spiritual and architectural history.
