Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The main square and epicenter of the old town. It is well preserved and maintains the same layout as it had at the beginning of the 15th century. Pay attention to the arches, the Baroque fountain and the beautiful Church of Santo Antão.

Stop 2

This monument/temple dates from the 1st century and its ruins are considered the best preserved Roman ruins in the Iberian Peninsula.

Stop 3

The Cathedral is a good example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic and impresses with its grandeur. Enjoy the high choir, the majestic arches, the baptistry, the arch of the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade and the chancel. To have the best view of the city, be sure to go up to the terrace (Admission fee not included).

A stunning set of buildings classified as a National Monument since 1922. It is partially integrated into the Roman and medieval walls, that is, the walls of Évora.

Stop 5

The "Bone Chapel" is located in the Church of San Francisco, built in the 18th century and was completely lined with human bones. It is also known for the famous phrase written at the entrance "We bones that are here, for your's we wait".

Stop 6

It is located within the city walls, so finish the afternoon with a walk around the medieval fence. The total distance from the walls is about 4 km, so you can choose to walk through only one of the sections or see them all and enjoy the view and architectural details.
