Overview

The city of Évora has a historical center of the best preserved and rich in monuments of Portugal and that deserves the epithet of City-Museum. In 1986, the historic center of the city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The Bone Chapel, the Church of San Francisco and the Roman Temple are some of the top monuments to visit in Évora.

Still in Évora and following the Megalithic Circuit of the Alentejo, you can find the Cromeleque of the Almendres. Consisting of two separate premises, built between the end of the 6th and the 3rd millennium.C., this cromeleque is one of the largest and most important megalithic monuments in the world. At its height, the architectural ensemble would have more than a hundred monoliths, granite stones of various sizes, arranged in circular or elliptical shape. Of this hundred, there are still 95 monoliths in perfect state of conservation.

This is our proposal for an amazing tour. But if the customer has any preference, we can try to adjust the itinerary.

Capela dos Ossos

Built in the 17th century on the initiative of three Franciscan friars whose purpose was to convey the message of the transience and fragility of human life. This message is passed to visitors right at the entrance, by the phrase: "We bones that we are here, for your waiting." The walls of the Bone Chapel and its eight pillars are lined with carefully arranged human bones and skulls. The vaults are brick plastered in white and painted with motifs that symbolize or allude to death. In addition to the bones, the Chapel of Bones is also decorated with religious statues and a Renaissance and Baroque painting. The arches are ornamented with rows of skulls, cornices and white ships. It is estimated that there are about 5000 human skulls found there, among numerous bones, from the graves of the convent church and other churches and cemeteries in the city.

Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana)

It is one of the grandest and best preserved Roman temples in the Iberian Peninsula, having been considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. Corinthian in style, it was built in the early 1st century AD and is located in the historic center of the city. It is the ex-libris of the city of Évora. Despite all the modifications and destruction it has undergone, the Roman Temple of Évora retains its original plan. This majestic monument has a rectangular shape. The base (the podium), made of large blocks of granite and about 3.5 meters high, is almost intact. On the base are still 14 of its original Corinthian columns, and many still retain their capitals. The floor, believed to have been tiled, has completely disappeared.
