Évora

Évora combines an exceptionally preserved medieval core with the open agricultural character of the Alentejo in a way that reflects its position within Portugal’s south-central interior. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the Roman Temple of Évora stands near the cathedral and the former convent that houses the Chapel of Bones. The Água de Prata aqueduct carries a striking line of arches into the city, while the surrounding Alentejo plains are associated with cork production, olive groves and broad estates. Founded in 1559, the University of Évora adds another enduring layer to this regional capital. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Évora relates to the Alentejo plains.
