Évora – Travel Guide

Évora is the capital of Alentejo, a plain area that lies between Lisbon and the Algarve. With great historical weight, the walled town and full of old buildings can be visited in just a weekend, but a longer trip is also well received. There, the time well spent consists of walks through charming streets, delicious meals with meat dishes or traditional soups of the region, as well as visits to famous and remarkable monuments.

Among the places to visit in Évora, the most outstanding is, by far, the Capela dos Ossos. Built in the XNUMXth century in the Igreja de São Francisco, what differentiates it from other churches are the walls all covered with bones and human skulls. This peculiarity was instituted as a symbol of the transience of life, which the monks of the time wanted to highlight with the construction of the place. Inside the Capela dos Ossos you can also visit the Nativity Scene Collection and the Museum Center.

Another important church in the city is the Cathedral of Évora, which is the largest medieval-style church in the whole country. Outside of religious tourism, be sure to visit the wall that surrounds the historic center of the city, and also enjoy a coffee in the vicinity of Praça do Giraldo. In addition, it is worth dedicating a few days to visit the wineries closest to the city.
