Discover Evora in the Alentejo region of Portugal
Evora is one of the best and most beautiful cities in Portugal. It is a free open-air with a large number of beautiful saved remained monuments and buildings of public interest that led to protection as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Each age has left its traces on Evora. It was the Celts, who called it Ebora and the Romans gave it its most famous landmark, the Temple of Diana. Dates from the 2nd century, is one of the Iberian Peninsula's best kept Roman monuments, held on a 3m (10ft)-high stone platform, with 14 of the original 18 granite Corinthian columns still standing. The whitewashed houses, arches, and twisting alleyways characteristic of the city reflect the Moorish presence.
The main square, Praça do Giraldo, is the best place to start a visit. It was a execution
ground during the Inquisition, but is now filled with shops and cafes, surrounded by attractive town houses with wrought iron balconies. A fountain built in 1571 for the Renaissance Santo Antao church dominates one end of the spacious square.
From there, the pedestrian Rua 5 de Outubro (lined with souvenir shops) leads to the Roman temple and Loios Convent. The monastery is now a beautiful pousada but anyone can visit its Gothic church founded in 1485.
The towers of the Sé (Cathedral), built in 1186 (and where the flags of Vasco da Gama's ships were blessed for his trip to India), from here. It is a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic, and on the portal are 14th century carved Apostles. The Gothic interior is one of the longest beech found in a cathedral in the country, measuring 70m (230ft), and has a large Renaissance organ, thought to be the oldest in Europe.
The Gothic cloister with images of the evangelists and the Sacred Art Museum are worth. The most expensive item is a 13th century ivory maiden whose body cut open to complex reveal scenes of her life in nine episodes. Visitors can also climb to the roof for a view over the city.
Adjacent to the cathedral is the Stedelijk Museum, which Evora long history through Roman columns, 16th-century paintings and modern sculpture. Among the paintings is a 15th century Virgin and Child by Alvaro Pires (he is one of the earliest identified Portuguese artists, although some of his paintings are displayed in Pisa and Florence in Italy).
A short walk behind the Cathedral leads to the Jesuit college, founded in 1559. It has an elegant marble renaissance monasteries and classroom entrances are decorated with tile panels, each of the subjects taught.
A staircase beside the cathedral leads back to Porta da Moura Square, a picturesque place to rest. It is surrounded by Moorish architecture and has an interesting spherical Renaissance fountain from 1556.
If you walk through the city, you have a number of churches. One of the most striking is Graca Church, a Renaissance building that is unique in the Iberian Peninsula. Built in granite, the four large figures supporting globes.
But of all the churches, the one not to miss the church of Sao Francisco. Manuel is a gothic-style structure, completed around 1510, and legend has it that the Portuguese navigator Gil Vicente is buried.
Not buried, but the display on the bones and skulls of some 5,000 people on the walls and columns of the Church Chapel of Bones. The Creepiest sight is what appears on the desiccated corpse of a child, hanging off to the right of the entrance, where a sign reads "Nossos ossos que aqui estamos, pelos Vossos esperamos," meaning "We bones here are waiting for you."
After that a good idea for a small break in the beautiful public gardens near the church, also the home of the 16th-century Palace Dom Manuel. Built in Gothic, Manuel Style, neo-Moorish, and Renaissance styles, it was where Vasco da Gama received his commission to the fleet in the sea route to India to explore command.
Outside the city walls on the way to the station Sao Bras is the Ermita (Hermitage of St. Blaise "), a special building that resembles a medieval castle, complete with high battlements, gargoyles, and around buttresses. It was built in 1485 in thanksgiving for survival of the plague.
Outside the walls is the beautiful Silver Water Aqueduct. Walk west along Rua do Cano Giraldo Square to the transverse and take a look at the houses that were built in her bows.
Around Evora are also numerous prehistoric monuments - dozens of large Neolithic menhirs, cromlechs, and dolmens (the one in Zambujeiro, now a national monument, is the largest in Europe, consisting of seven stones, each 6m/20ft high, forms a large room).
The Cromlech of Almendres dates from somewhere between 4000 and 2000 BC is "the Portuguese Stonehenge." It is the most important megalithic group in the Iberian Peninsula, consisting a large oval of nearly one hundred rounded granite monoliths, some engraved with symbolic markings, deemed to have been used for worship use. They have their origin in a culture that flourished on the Iberian peninsula for the spreading north to Brittany and Denmark.
A few miles east of the Cave of Escoural, a decorated cave with charcoal drawings of horses and other animals, the work of Cro-Magnon artists some 15,000 years ago. There are free guided tours organized on the site.
For more information about these sites, how to reach them, making travel arrangements, visit the Evora Tourism Office.
One of the restaurants Evora is known throughout the country. Apparently "O Fialho" 's excellent traditional dishes are reason enough to drive all the way from Lisbon to the dinner.
Evora is less than 2 hours away from Lisbon (there are express buses leave from the Sete Rios terminal), so it's a possible day trip from the capital. Yet it makes an ideal base for the Alentejo region and one night is highly recommended, because the town is particularly suggestive when floodlit at night.
