Dive into History: Experience the Evora Tour

Evora Tour Mission

Discover this World Heritage Site with Evora Tour.

Évora, a historic city in the heart of Alentejo, is the heir to a rich and varied cultural heritage, built and preserved over time.

Founded (or refounded) by the Romans and called Ebora Liberalitas Iulia, the city was the stronghold that founded, in Além-Tejo, the formation of the new kingdom of Portugal during the Christian reconquest of the peninsula in the 12th century.

The best method to see the city is on foot, walking through its slim streets lined with white houses, finding along the way the monuments and details that reveal the background of Évora and also its rich heritage.

Evaluating by the tranquility, welcoming surroundings, one can conveniently see why this town, which dates back to Roman times, was selected by the kings of Portugal in the 15th century to act as their home, one of the reasons for its growth and also its social significance in the following centuries. It was in reality as a result of Évora’s lengthy history and also its metropolitan centre, typical of the 16th to 18th centuries, that has actually been maintained to our days that lead UNESCO to categorize the city as a World Heritage site.

Evora Tour Route

A City that is a Portuguese Art History Book.

Évora is the only Portuguese city member of the Network of the Oldest European Cities.

The Évora Tour shows you the historic centre of the city which is one of the richest in monuments in Portugal, earning it the epithet of Museum City. In 1986, the historic centre of the city was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Évora and its surrounding region have a rich history going back more than two millennia, as demonstrated by nearby megalithic monuments such as the Anta do Zambujeiro and the Cromeleque dos Almendres. Some Neolithic settlements developed in the region, the nearest one located in Alto de São Bento. Another settlement of this type is the so-called Castelo de Giraldo, inhabited continuously from the 3rd millennium to the first millennium before Christ and of sporadic occupation in medieval times.
