Évora

A balanced route through Evora, between heritage, landscape and local flavors. Built in the 1st century and deeply associated with the ancient Roman forum, it preserves a podium and a Corinthian colonnade that have become the most recognizable image of Roman Évora. The page brings together the essential context to understand the place before visiting. Begun at the end of the 12th century, the cathedral combines Romanesque and Gothic language, later expansions, a medieval cloister and a terrace that allows you to understand the historic city and the plain.
