At the center of Évora stands the Baluarte do Principe fortress, a testament to the city's strategic military importance in the 17th century. Built to withstand sieges, the fortress boasts sturdy stone walls and impressive views of the surrounding countryside. Évora's city defense system consists of two lines of walls, representing different time periods. The second wall, known as the Cerca-Nova, is a medieval construction dating back to the 16th century. It was reinforced over time and fortified with some very advanced bastions in the 17th century.
