Évora with Wine Experience - Beyond the Tejo River
With vast plains stretching south of the Tagus River and a landscape bathed in golden sunlight, Évora is an inspiring city rich in history, culture, and charm, waiting to be explored.
It is easy to understand why Évora was already an important city during Roman times. Chosen by the Kings of Portugal as a royal residence in the 15th century, Évora became a center of political, cultural, and spiritual life, contributing to the rich heritage that still defines the city today.
Within its historic center, discover some of Évora’s most iconic landmarks, including the famous Chapel of Bones, built in the 17th century, and the lively Giraldo Square, named after Geraldo Geraldes, who conquered the city from the Moors in 1167. From there, admire the remarkable Roman Temple, one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the Iberian Peninsula and part of Évora’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.
