Experience Details

Évora, the Pearl of the Alentejo!

In addition to being one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Portugal, it is marked by the incomparable hospitality of its people.

Go back in time and visit the 1st century Roman Temple, the Evora Cathedral, the São Francisco Church that houses the chilling Chapel of Bones. Find out what gave the city the UNESCO World Heritage status.


Enjoy free time for lunch. Afterwards you will visit the Eugenio de Almeida Foundation (Cartuxa Winery) to make a guided visit to the winery and have a wine tasting. Alentejo is one of the most extensive regions in the south of Portugal and has established itself in recent years as an important region in the production of large, ripe and fruity red wines, easy to drink.

Igreja De Sao Francisco

Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, in Manueline-Mudejar and Renaissance style, to replace an earlier Gothic temple, of which there are still some remnants. It was adjacent to the Royal Palace, and seen as a Royal Church therefore important ceremonies were held there such as the marriage of Prince Afonso to Isabel of Castilla in 1490. The interior has a single nave, rectangular in shape and in the form of a Latin cross, emphasizing the Baroque high-altar and the Third Order of Saint Francis Chapel. The greatest popular curiosity resides in the Bones Chapel, of three naves completely covered in human bones (17th century).
