Church of the Holy Spirit

Very beautiful impressive church. The details of the altars in Portuguese Baroque are beautiful.

In 1551, Cardinal D. Henry, the first Archbishop of Évora, took a further step in pursuing a true apostolic and spiritual reform of his diocese by founding a college of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in the city. The Jesuits developed an important educational center in the adjacent college, which played a key role in the evangelization of the Alentejo.The church's impressive interior clearly reflects the Jesuit spirituality.As part of extensive, costly renovations from 2020 to 2023, the rooms were opened to the public.The current admission fee is €2.50.

Very beautiful church complex with a lot of contemporary history.
