During the Roman era, known as Liberalitas Julia, Évora was a prominent city in the Lusitania province. The magnificent Roman Temple, also known as the Temple of Diana, is a well-preserved structure from the 1st century AD and stands as a symbol of the city’s Roman heritage.

Évora flourished during the Middle Ages, becoming a major religious and educational center. Many of its most famous buildings, including the Cathedral and the University, date from this period.
We will visit the 13th-century Cathedral, a striking example of Gothic architecture, and the intriguing Bones Chapel, a poignant reminder of human fragility. As we walk through the city, you’ll marvel at how Évora seamlessly blends its ancient heritage with the lively atmosphere of university life.

The Almendres Cromlech dates back to between 6000 and 5000 BCE, making it one of the oldest megalithic sites in the world. It predates Stonehenge by about 2000 years. While the exact purpose remains unknown, it is believed to have served as a ceremonial or religious site. The alignment of the stones suggests it may have been used for astronomical observations, marking solstices and equinoxes.

It is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the mysteries of prehistoric societies.
