The picturesque and delightful parish of Evoramonte (or Évora Monte) is located between the beautiful cities of Évora and Estremoz. Once of great geographical and military importance, this Alentejo town, whose walls still protect its inhabitants from above, feels like an ancient warrior patiently awaiting visitors with countless stories to tell.

Clearly divided into two distinct parts, Evoramonte combines the present-day lowlands with its medieval town located high up in the Serra d’Ossa. Although its history dates back to prehistoric times, this unusual Alentejo town first gained notoriety in the 12th century.
