Évora, one of Portugal's most captivating destinations, is a city that holds a wealth of historical treasures that arouse the curiosity of any visitor. From the impressive Roman ruins of the Temple of Diana, with its original Corinthian columns, to the intriguing “Capela dos Ossos” (Bones Chapel) , adorned with human bones.
It is at the entrance of this mysterious chapel lined with bones that we find the warning reminding us of the fragility of human life, with the message you find before entering this place: "We bones that are here, for your sake we await you".
Be sure to explore Praça Giraldo, the bustling heart of the city, where you'll find a lively gathering place filled with cafés, terraces, and shops. This square is an iconic tribute to Geraldo Geraldes, known as "Sem Pavor" (Fearless), who captured Évora from the Moors in 1167.
At the end of the square, you'll find the Church of Santo Antão and a beautiful marble fountain with eight spouts, symbolizing the eight streets that converge there.
