Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora)

Roman-Gothic 12th century cathedral. Guard a valuable treasure. Spectacular visit the cloisters of the cathedral and coverage, with magnificent views of the historic center. Is part of the monumental complex as a Unesco World Heritage

Reviewed By IndySig - Indianapolis, United States

We enjoyed viewing and walking around this old beauty. The cloister area was interesting with the spiral staircase and beautiful vaulted roof. Plus, the Madonna and the crypts were fascinating. The views from the top were great of the city and the cathedral was interesting. A great visit.

Muralhas de Evora

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

While visiting Évora, in the Portuguese region of Alentejo, it will be impossible to miss the ancient Walls! Nearly untouched after so many centuries ... The "Walls of Évora" are remnants of the Roman years in "Lusitânia", dating partially from the 1st century ... They were later rebuilt by Visigoths and Moors, until Portuguese King Dom Afonso IV, in the 15th century, ordered their enlargement, with the construction of new ramparts, towers and gates, setting the limits of the medieval town. As you will notice, with so many additions, it has characteristics from many different military architectural styles. If time is not a constraint, you can even try to walk the whole perimeter of the awesome "Walls of Évora"! Enjoy!

Aqueduto da Agua de Prata

Reviewed By MarkW55 - Castle Douglas, United Kingdom

The aqueduct built to supply the town with water in the 16th century still terminates in the northern sector of the walled town. Unusually, the arches of the aqueduct have been filled over the years with vernacular buildings and the vertical space for each cottage varies from low to high as you travel northwards to the edge of town.
