Tour through the history of Évora

The city of Évora has a historical center of the best preserved and rich in monuments of Portugal and that gives it the epithet of Museum City. In 1986, the historic city center was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Bones Chapel, St. Francis Church and the Roman Temple are some of its main monuments to visit in Évora. Still in Evora and following the Megalithic Circuit of the Alentejo, is the Cromlech of Almendres. Consisting of two distinct enclosures, built between the end of the 6th and 3rd millennium BC, this cromlech is one of the largest and most important megalithic monuments in the world. In its heyday, the architectural ensemble would have more than a hundred monoliths, granite stones of various sizes, arranged in circular or ellipse form. Of this hundred, ninety-five monoliths are still in perfect condition.
