This Roman temple was built in the first century AD. For a long time it was thought to be dedicated to the goddess Diana. Today it is fairly certain that it was built as a sign of conquest.

The ruins of the Roman Temple of Évora, also known as the Temple of Diana, is a real highlight of Évora. The granite and marble temple was built in the 1st century for the late Emperor Augustus. It is one of the most important symbols of the Roman and Lusitanian civilizations of Évora and Portugal.

Great view of the distant country, the Romans already had a good view here.
