As the capital of the Alentejo region, Evora has many medieval buildings, monuments and squares in its historic centre. Evora is protected by its imposing city walls which lead to all kinds of local shops, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants. The main artery of the city is the pedestrianised Rua 5 de Octubre, which is the street that connects the Plaza de Giraldo with the Cathedral, two of the essential sites to see in Evora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-evora-roman-temple\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evora-Roman-Temple\"><\/span>Evora Roman Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most notable landmarks to see in Evora are the <strong>ruins of the Roman temple<\/strong>. Located in the <strong>Plaza Conde Vila Flor,<\/strong> in the centre of Evora, this temple is the only one that has been preserved in the whole of Portugal. These ruins date back to the 1st century, so only a few of the columns from the original temple remain &#8211; enough to be one of the symbols of Evora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"15194\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/portugal\/things-to-do-in-evora\/attachment\/roman-temple-evora\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"roman-temple-evora\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in roman temple evora\" class=\"wp-image-15194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/roman-temple-evora.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Romano Temple Evora @gabrivega<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-walls-of-evora\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Walls-of-Evora\"><\/span>The Walls of Evora<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as the <strong>city of three walls<\/strong>, Evora has three medieval walls that protect the city&#8217;s precious historic centre. Each of the walls was built in a different century, but all of them have been classified as a National Monument of Portugal since 1922 and are considered part of the Historic Centre of Evora by UNESCO. The first of these, of which few remains can be seen, dates back to the 3rd century. Likewise, the wall that can be seen today in Evora was built during two different periods of the Middle Ages. The last of them dates back to the 17th century, which was a period of decline for the city. All of them have well-preserved walls and gates that lead to the historic centre of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create your travel itinerary for Evora<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-church-of-s-o-francisco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Church-of-Sao-Francisco\"><\/span>Church of S\u00e3o Francisco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a particularly striking church to see in Evora, although it is not considered the most important in the city.

It gets its name due to  the walls of its three small rooms being covered with skulls and human bones, as a representation of the ephemeral nature of earthly existence. Its construction dates back to the 16th century. The chapel has a side entrance through a courtyard of the church and there is an entrance fee to visit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the main church in Evora is the <strong>Cathedral<\/strong>, built between the 13th and 14th centuries, which is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the city. The sculptures in its portico and cloister are outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"15198\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/portugal\/things-to-do-in-evora\/attachment\/chapel-of-bones\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"chapel-of-bones\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do in chapel of bones Evora\" class=\"wp-image-15198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chapel-of-bones.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Chapel of Bones @nnataaliiaa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-agua-de-prata-aqueduct\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agua-de-Prata-Aqueduct\"><\/span>Agua de Prata Aqueduct <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The aqueduct of Evora, also called \u00c1gua de Prata, originally reached the very heart of the city, as far as Giraldo Square. Today, the largest visible section is outside the medieval walls, reaching a maximum height of 12 metres. Inside the aqueduct walls, small houses and shops have been built between the arches. It was built in the 16th century by<strong> Francisco de Arruda<\/strong>, the same architect who designed the Elvas aqueduct and the popular Belem Tower in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pra-a-do-giraldo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Praca-do-Giraldo\"><\/span>Pra\u00e7a do Giraldo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Giraldo square is the heart of the city, the ideal place to start your visit to Evora.  The main spots and landmarks to visit in Evora in one day can be reached in just a few minutes from this square. Giraldo Square is the most atmospheric places in Evora, linked to the cathedral by the pedestrian and historic <strong>Rua 5 de Octubro<\/strong>. Here you can enjoy the many terraces of bars and restaurants. The square is rectangular in shape and on one side is the <strong>Church of San Antonio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-palace-of-the-dukes-of-cadaval\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Palace-of-the-Dukes-of-Cadaval\"><\/span>Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Evora is also a city rich in <strong>palaces<\/strong>. The architectural style of most of them is Manueline Gothic. The most famous is the Palace of the <strong>Dukes of Cadaval<\/strong>, although it is not the oldest. Other palaces to see in Evora include the <strong>Vasco da Gama<\/strong> Palace, the Palace of the Counts of Basto and the former residence of the Kings of Portugal, the <strong>Royal Palace<\/strong> (also known as the <strong>Palace of Don Manuel<\/strong>). Most of them are not open to the public as museums, so you&#8217;ll have to make do with seeing them from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create your travel itinerary for Evora<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-and-around-evora\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-and-around-Evora\"><\/span>What to see in and around Evora?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-elvas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elvas\"><\/span>Elvas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This interesting city is located next to the Spanish border, just a few kilometres from Badajoz, also a border city. Its complex defensive system, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, makes it one of the jewels of the Alentejo of Portugal and the main place to see near Evora. It is the most important fortified city in Portugal and one of the largest in the world. It is a small city, easily visited in half a day, making Elvas an ideal complement to your visit to Evora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-almendres-cromlech\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Almendres-Cromlech\"><\/span>Almendres Cromlech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alentejo is the Portuguese region that is home to the most important megalithic monuments. As soon as you step outside the walls of Evora, you are immersed in a land dotted with these megalithic sites, surrounded by vast expanses of oak and olive trees. With 95 megaliths arranged in an oval shape, the Almendres Cromlech is one of the most popular, just 15 kilometres west of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These enormous stones arranged in a circle, dating from the Neolithic period, are <strong>one of the most important prehistoric complexes on the Iberian Peninsula and one of the largest in Europe<\/strong>. Their significance is still unknown today. They can be easily visited from Evora by car, although the last few metres have to be done on foot. <strong>Entry is completely free of charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lisbon\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lisbon\"><\/span>Lisbon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portuguese capital is <strong>only 130 kilometres away<\/strong>. So if you&#8217;re planning a trip to Evora, we recommend spending at least half a day in Lisbon. It&#8217;s a very worthwhile city, contrasting the old, bohemian and decadent side, with the side that is modern, cosmopolitan and open to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belem Tower, Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, Commerce Square, the Cathedral, the trams, Alfama, Chiado. If you are visiting Evora, a day trip to the capital of Portugal is the perfect way to complete your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-evora-portugal-in-one-day\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-Evora-Portugal-in-one-day\"><\/span>What to see in Evora Portugal in one day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Evora is the ideal destination in Portugal to visit in one day, as most of the places of interest are concentrated in the old town.
