Overview

Évora, the Pearl of the Alentejo!

Known as the Museum-City, Évora stands out for its rich historical heritage and university tradition. It stands beautiful and charming in the heart of the Alentejo region. In addition to being one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Portugal, it is marked by the incomparable hospitality of its people.

Go back in time and visit the 1st century Roman Temple, the Evora Cathedral, the São Francisco Church that houses the chilling Chapel of Bones. Find out what gave the city the UNESCO World Heritage status. Enjoy free time for lunch and then head to Monsaraz Castle. A village surrounded by walls, which perpetuated the medieval atmosphere of its streets that accentuate a unique sensation as if Monsaraz remained frozen in time.

Igreja De Sao Francisco

Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, in Manueline-Mudejar and Renaissance style, to replace an earlier Gothic temple, of which there are still some remnants. It was adjacent to the Royal Palace, and seen as a Royal Church therefore important ceremonies were held there such as the marriage of Prince Afonso to Isabel of Castilla in 1490. The interior has a single nave, rectangular in shape and in the form of a Latin cross, emphasizing the Baroque high-altar and the Third Order of Saint Francis Chapel. The greatest popular curiosity resides in the Bones Chapel, of three naves completely covered in human bones (17th century).

Be impressed by one of the most sinister monuments in Portugal: The Chapel of Bones built in the 17th century. Upon entering, note the ominous warning, intended for visitors to meditate on the ephemeral of life: "We bones that here are, for yours await". Built by three naves, the chapel is covered with bones and skulls from 5000 skeletons from church and convent cemeteries throughout the city.

Monsaraz Castle and Walls

Village surrounded by walls, which perpetuate the medieval air, its streets accentuate a singular atmosphere as if Monsaraz remained frozen in time. Upon arriving in Monsaraz you will find a magnificent architectural complex protected by the medieval wall built in the reigns of D. Afonso III (13th century) and D. Dinis (14th century). For those who venture to discover narrow streets, sunny nooks and crannies or high points like the Belfry and the Torre das Feiticeiras (The Tower of the Witches) , one of the five towers of this military monument, the sensation of wonder and surprise caused by the magnificent and traditional landscape is certain, and now enriched by the beauty of the Great Lake of the Alqueva Dam.
