Évora is a historical gem located in the heart of the Alentejo, southern Portugal. With its exceptionally well-preserved historic center, the city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Walking through its cobblestone streets, surrounded by 14th-century walls, you'll find a fascinating blend of epochs and architectural styles. The impressive Roman Temple (also known as the Temple of Diana), the imposing Évora Cathedral and the macabre Chapel of Bones are some of the monuments that tell the millennial history of this city. The region around Évora is famous for its quality wines, olive oil and cork, with Alentejo being the largest cork-producing region in the world.
