Evora is indeed a marvelous place to visit in the Alentejo region with lot of historical significance to consider. The stunning Evora cathedral with its unique Plateresque architecture featuring conical towers and gothic cloisters is visually appealing. So is the Roman architecture of Temple of Diana.

The medieval village of Monsaraz stands in an eternal beauty with its cobble stone streets surrounded by cafes, shops, vineyards and the white washed houses . The grandeur of the castle with the vast arena and panoramic views of the city make Evora a traveler’s paradise.
The mural of the lady on the walls and the silver water aqueduct represent the artistic and architectural marvels of the city.

Oh, I absolutely love visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites. Always the best way to get a feel for the history of a region.

There are so many beautiful places in the south of Portugal, I keep adding more and more to visit. I would love to visit Evora too.

In reply to Umiko. I love all the medieval architecture. Those Gothic arches looked stunning. I hadn't heard lf Evora or the Alentejo region before reading this. It's looks lovely.

The cathedral is stunning, and what a view you get from the top of it. The rest of the town looks just as pretty, so many nice churches and historical sites. I’d love to go back to Portugal, so it looks like I’ll need to spend more time in the south next visit.

In reply to Julia. Both Algarve and Evora are lovely places to visit. It takes about 2 and half hours to drive from Albufeira to Evora. :-)

Oh, I love everything about Portugal. It’s such a nice country with great tourist perspectives. I especially like the Algarve region, but Evora also looks very interesting. Is it difficult to come to Evora from Algarve towns?

In reply to Sonia. I was surprised to learn about the (more recent) viaducts built in Evora - very nice engineering! Many people would assume they're Roman and thousands of years old. It was interesting to hear a first hand perspective of that major power outage in Spain & Portugal- that must have been disorienting.

We were so glad we got to see Evora when we were in Portugal last. It was definitely a great reason to visit the Alentejo region. We did not visit long enough to see al that you did. Even though you had a power failure during your visit. I guess this means we need to go back.

I haven’t had the chance to visit Évora yet, but it looks like such a beautiful and culturally rich place. I’d love to explore the Roman Temple and walk through the narrow streets of the old walled city. The mix of Roman, Moorish, and Portuguese history sounds fascinating. Definitely adding Évora and the Alentejo region to my Portugal travel wishlist! These photos are stunning!
