エヴォラ周辺のおすすめファミリーハイキング＆ウォーキング

A must-see for anyone visiting Évora. Its morbid charm is fascinating, and the thousands upon thousands of bones serve as a reminder of one's own mortality. On the ceiling, you can discover various paintings and sayings about death and dying, and I would never have imagined how decoratively the bones were arranged in the chapel.

Visiting hours: - Daily from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM - There is a fee per visit.

The Chapel of Bones is a monument of penitential architecture. Dedicated to the Lord of the Steps, an image known to the people of Évora as the Lord Jesus of the House of Bones. It is located in the Church of São Francisco, on Largo 1° de Maio, next to the municipal market.

Giraldo Square is the main square in the city of Évora. It has undergone several changes over the years. Not so long ago, a traffic policeman stood there, directing the direction of Rua Cinco de Outubro, when cars circulated here and around the square. It was a parking lot and passenger pick-up point for a large fleet of taxis. It was the venue for meetings and business dealings among local farmers every Tuesday. Nowadays, it is largely occupied by the terraces of the surrounding restaurants and pastry shops. 👍🥾

The church operates under two names: Igreja de São João Evangelista / Igreja dos Lóios. It belonged to the Monastery of Lios, also known as the Convent of St. John the Evangelist, which was built in the 15th century on top of a medieval castle. The monastery itself was converted into the Pousada Convento Évora hotel in modern times and is now privately owned. The church, accessed through a Gothic portal, is notable for the magnificent tiled panels that cover the walls. They were created in 1711 by the master Antonio de Oliveira Bernardes and depict scenes from the life of St. Lawrence Justinian. Through an opening in the floor, one can see the crypt, which lies next to a Moorish cistern. Along the sides are chapels with fine examples of gilded wood carvings. It is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Portugal and a must-see.

The library was opened in 1666 with the intention of serving as the Colégio dos Moss do Coro da Sé (Cathedral Choir School). At that time, the building was directly connected by an arcaded bridge to the Archiepiscopal Palace, now the Museum of Évora and the Cathedral. Today, the Public Library of Évora is one of the oldest and richest in Portugal. Its unique holdings include, in particular, its collection of books printed with movable type in the early days of the printing press, lithographs, and itineraries of ancient sailors and explorers. A must-see for anyone interested. The building is divided into three sections open to the public.

The Ruínas Fingidas are located in the freely accessible Jardim Público de Évora. They were built using architectural materials from the ruins of various monuments throughout the city, primarily remnants of two-tone windows in the Manueline-Mudéjar style. They are an integral part of a tower and part of the medieval city wall. Directly adjacent is the Palace of D. Manuel. Several pairs of peacocks can be found around the ruins.

静かな町エヴォラの歴史的中心部には、エヴォラ水道橋（Templo Romano de Évora）があります。 この街のシンボルはしばしばディアナ神殿とも呼ばれますが、歴史的な観点からは狩猟の女神とは何の関係もありません。最高神ユピテルに捧げられた可能性が高いです。 エヴォラ水道橋は、おそらくアウグストゥス帝治世下の紀元1世紀に建てられ、後にクラウディウス帝の下で変更されました。 壮大な建造物は、コリント様式の柱を持つローマ建築を反映しています。
