This wonderful town is a World Heritage Site and is located in Southern Portugal, situated on the top of a hill. A serviced apartment or holiday letting in Evora is a must for anyone fascinated with rich history and ancient architecture because here you will be privy to both in equal measures.

The first building that will catch your eye is the cathedral. This 900 year old Gothic structure houses the Museum of Sacred Art and inside is a sight even more breathtaking than the cathedral’s impressive exterior. Wonderfully carved choir stalls and beautiful, decorative cloisters adorn this magnificent building as well as a delightful 500 year old organ. A really stunning structure.

You can still see the ancient city walls that protected this wonderful region and following some of the many narrow streets that snake their way through the city you will find some beautiful, ancient squares that really shouldn’t be missed. The immense Imperial Temple, boasting it’s 12 vast, granite columns is a real sight to behold and the 500 year old aqueduct that stretches an incredible 9 kilometres is an amazing piece of engineering.

A serviced residence or aparthotel in Evora also gives you convenient access to the Church of Sao Francisco. This somewhat eerie church houses a chapel that is decorated with the 400 year old bones of some 5000 people who were dug up from local graveyards by the monks of this period. A bit gruesome but well worth a visit.

For a bit more history and culture why not head over to the Regional Museum where you can discover all there is to know about Evora and her surrounding areas. This museum isn’t hard to find as it’s housed within a gorgeous palace.
For a trip even further back in time pay a visit to the Almendres Cromlech Complex. Here you will find 100 or more standing stones, some of which have ancient symbols carved into them. Both mystical and fascinating. A short journey from your Evora holiday let, in Escoural, you will find a collection of caves whose walls are adorned with wonderful ancient paintings, of which some are thought to be 20,000 years old.

After a busy day exploring this immense heritage site why not enjoy a meal at Dom Joaquim. This fantastic restaurant is within close proximity of your apartment rental in Evora and serves traditional Portuguese cuisine. This eatery boasts excellent service, lovely décor and an extensive wine list. The stuffed octopus and wild boar are out of this world.
