The historic city.
The city of Évora itself has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A regional capital, Évora has one of the most incredible collections of historical sites in all of Portugal. A Roman temple dedicated to a God-Emperor; a Cathedral built in the wake of a Crusader victory; standing stones that twice as old as Stonehenge; a Franciscan chapel made of human bones.
Évora is a must-see that is just off the beaten path. Join us for an adventure you won’t soon forget!
