The cathedral is a must-visit when in Évora. The entrance fee is very reasonable! First, climb the tower and enjoy a fantastic view from the roof of the cathedral. As you descend into the cloister, the beautiful yellow light from the window immediately catches your eye. Simply fascinating!

A must-see for anyone visiting Évora. Its morbid charm is fascinating, and the thousands upon thousands of bones serve as a reminder of one's own mortality. On the ceiling, you can discover various paintings and sayings about death and dying, and I would never have imagined how decoratively the bones were arranged in the chapel.

Giraldo Square is the main square in the city of Évora. It has undergone several changes over the years. Not so long ago, a traffic policeman stood there, directing the direction of Rua Cinco de Outubro, when cars circulated here and around the square. It was a parking lot and passenger pick-up point for a large fleet of taxis. It was the venue for meetings and business dealings among local farmers every Tuesday. Nowadays, it is largely occupied by the terraces of the surrounding restaurants and pastry shops. 👍🥾

Medieval city gate. The gate itself is unfortunately no longer there. Of particular note are the narrow, sloping alleys that lead from here to the cathedral, which are worth a leisurely stroll.

The library was opened in 1666 with the intention of serving as the Colégio dos Moss do Coro da Sé (Cathedral Choir School). At that time, the building was directly connected by an arcaded bridge to the Archiepiscopal Palace, now the Museum of Évora and the Cathedral. Today, the Public Library of Évora is one of the oldest and richest in Portugal. Its unique holdings include, in particular, its collection of books printed with movable type in the early days of the printing press, lithographs, and itineraries of ancient sailors and explorers. A must-see for anyone interested. The building is divided into three sections open to the public.
