Historical and Mystical Alentejo

Overview

Time to visit Évora, virtually an open-air museum with innumerable well-preserved monuments and buildings of public interest that led UNESCO to protect it as a World Heritage Site. A panoramic highlight tour of Évora must include the Roman Temple, one of the most significant landmarks relating to the Roman and Lusitanian civilizations of Évora in Portuguese territory.

Uncover a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, one of the oldest and largest medieval cathedrals in Portugal and one of the best examples of Portuguese Gothic architecture.

Visit a 15th-century Gothic-style church with some Manueline influences, which replaced an earlier Romanesque church from 1226. Pay attention to a 16th-century small inner chapel decorated with bones, skulls, and entire bodies hanging from the wall.

Not to miss a tour of the Almendres Cromlech (Cromeleque de Almendres) megalithic complex, one of the largest groups of structured menhirs in Europe.
