Portugal Maps: Evora Map
Evora, located in the Alentejo area of Portugal, east of Lisbon, sits on a small hill and most of Evora's main tourist attractions lie within its beautifully preserved Medieval stone walls.
There is much to see and do in Evora, a city of around 57,000 people. The city's main attractions include the historic Templo Romano, the fortress-like cathedral, the Sé on Largo do Marques de Marialva as well as the thought-provoking and macabre Capela dos Ossos.
The Universidade de Evora is also worth a visit to see a beautifully-preserved Renaissance style college.
The ancient centre of town is justly designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is a delight to wander the narrow streets after a relaxing lunch or dinner in the charming, central square, Praça do Giraldo.
Places to stay in Evora range from luxurious to more down-to-earth lodgings.
Options include the top of the range Pousada Loios Hotel Evora, the equally charming Convento Do Espinheiro & Spa and the good value Moov Hotel, just south of the main centre.
Other good options include the Vitória Stone Hotel, the four-star Vila Gale Evora and the Evora Olive Hotel.
