Right in the heart of the Alentejo lies \u00c9vora, one of Portugal’s most captivating destinations. Famous for its incredible array of well-preserved monuments, \u00c9vora deserves a close and unhurried examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its medieval walls encapsulate centuries of history, a timeline illustrated by the impressive Roman Temple, dating from around the 2nd century; the taciturn but convincing 12th century S\u00e9 (cathedral); and the Church of S\u00e3o Francisco, with its mournful Capela dos Ossos (Chapel of Bones), completed in the mid-1550s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c9vora’s historical significance and the preserved state of its architectural treasures have earned it the coveted UNESCO World Heritage Site. But you’ll also be charmed by the city’s charming market-town atmosphere and its down-to-earth personality: it’s a pleasure to stroll and shop through its Moorish alleyways; browse engaging museums; and lunch in attractive squares, where you’re considered a guest rather than a tourist.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
