Go through the historical treasures in Evora that span centuries. You could spend part of the tour admiring the city's main cathedral built between the years of 1186 and 1204. Cathedrals are aplenty in Portugal, but few are more significant than the Cathedral of Evora when it comes to the Gothic style.
Behold Templo de Diana, which is one of the best-preserved Roman monuments that you will find anywhere on the Iberian Peninsula. Fourteen of the original eighteen columns on this renowned relic are still standing, which gives testament to how well built the structure is.
Also, visit the city's lively main square, which is known as the Praca do Giraldo, and is one of the best places to start an Evora walking tour. Attractive townhouses with intricate wrought-iron balconies adorn the square.
Proceed to the historical University founded on the 1st of November, 1559 and the local market. Don't miss the famous unique cork products.
