The Cathedral! Its jagged silhouette can be seen in the urban landscape from afar. Better known as Évora Cathedral or Sé de Évora, its real name is Basílica Sé de Nossa Senhora da Assunção. It is the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal and has no parallel in the rest of the country.

Stop 4
The charming city of Évora stands in the middle of the Alentejo plains. It gained prominence under the Romans and flourished in the Middle Ages as a centre of learning and the arts. It was the residence of the Portuguese kings but fell into disfavour after the Spanish annexation in 1580. Its influence diminished further when the Jesuit university closed in the 18th century. In 1986 the city was declared a World Heritage Site.
