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 original palace was built in the 14th century next to the Tower of Évora, where Martim Afonso de Mello, a servant of the Royal Military Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz and a descendant of the Portuguese crown, ordered its construction. The palace was partially built on the Roman-Visigothic walls of the old castle of Évora, and traces of both remain in its buildings. At the rear of the palace, you can admire the extraordinary Torre das Cinco Quinas, the famous pentagonal tower that gave it its name. In addition to the large outdoor gardens and the numerous rooms and halls that make up the complex, it also houses the Casa Cadaval exhibition rooms, which house a collection of illuminated codices, sculptures, paintings, and armories with pieces from the 15th and 18th centuries.

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. (May 2025)

What's particularly interesting about the Xerez stone group is its square shape. The menhir is located in the center, surrounded by smaller stones. A concrete path leads from the Orada Monastery to it—is this really necessary? A regular path would certainly have sufficed. The entire area appears very neglected.

The first name John has been widespread since biblical times, and so it should not surprise us to find a whole series of blesseds and saints with this name over the two millennia of Christianity. At the threshold between the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom most churches dedicated to John are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church in Évora is dedicated to him, JOHN THE EVANGELIST. A long-standing church tradition has considered the evangelist to be identical with the apostle John mentioned in the Bible, but this is disputed in modern biblical scholarship. "The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, at times mystical language. It speaks to deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for fulfilling eternal life, the longing for personal communion with God." (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)

The Xerez Cromlech stands on open land, close to the Convent of Orada, and with a view of the walls of Monsaraz. It is the second "home" to prevent it from being submerged by the Alqueva dam. The 55 granite menhirs of the Xerez Cromlech have already been to other places because they were moved here, to the vicinity of the village of Telheiro, in 2004, to prevent submersion by the Alqueva dam. The cromlech was in front of Monte Xerez, close to a dolmen, about 5km from Monsaraz.

Visiting the Cadaval Palace is to feel up close what is also the history of Portugal. The ancestral home and the property of the Dukes of Cadaval family, since its foundation in the 14th century until today, the Palace was built on the ruins of a Moorish Castle in the heart of Évora, and has been able to extend itself over time in all its essence through careful intervention programs. Located in front of the Roman Temple, the Palace is a singular example of the country’s architectural heritage, resulting from a unique combination of Mudéjar, Gothic and Manueline styles. The building’s body includes a vast multi-storey residential area, two interior gardens and a church that is the final resting place for every generation of the Dukes of Cadaval family. The church is, moreover, a national reference given its stunning interior, where azulejo tile panels signed and dated from the beginning of the 18th century prevail. Martim Afonso de Melo, noble servant of the Grand Master of the Order of Aviz and descendant of the Portuguese royal family, commissioned the building, then designated the Palace of the Tower of the Five Shields. The Palace served as the temporary residence of the monarchs Dom João II, Dom João IV and Dom João V. The Palace was also used to imprison the Duke Dom Fernando II of Braganza, accused of conspiring against King Dom João II and subsequently beheaded in the Praça do Giraldo, in Évora, in 1483. Today the Palace remains the residence of the Dukes of Cadaval, although the church and some of the rooms are open to the public throughout the year, exhibiting a collection of historical and contemporary pieces from the family: books, charters, armoury, painting, sculpture, furniture, porcelain, portraits and travel accessories, among other objects of value and major historical interest. At the same time, the Palace temporarily hosts several international cultural and artistic exhibitions.

Visiting Cadaval Palace is to experience up close the history of Portugal. The cradle and property of the Dukes of Cadaval family, from its founding in the 14th century to the present day, the Palace arose on the ruins of a Moorish castle in the heart of Évora, and has managed to preserve its essence through careful renovation programs. Located opposite the Roman Temple, the Palace is a unique example of the country's architectural heritage, resulting from the fusion of Mudejar, Gothic, and Manueline styles. The building's main building includes a vast multi-story residential area, two interior gardens, and a church that also serves as a pantheon for all generations of the Dukes of Cadaval family. The church is also a national landmark for its grand interiors, dominated by tile panels signed and dated to the early 18th century. Martim Afonso de Melo, a noble servant of the Master of Aviz and a descendant of the Portuguese royal family, commissioned the construction of the building, then known as the Palácio da Torre das Cinco Quinas (Palace of the Tower of the Five Quinas), which served as the temporary residence of the monarchs Dom João II, Dom João IV, and Dom João V. It was also in this palace that Dom Fernando II, Duke of Braganza, was imprisoned, accused of conspiracy against King Dom João II and later beheaded in Praça do Giraldo, Évora, in 1483. Today, the palace remains the residence of the Dukes of Cadaval, although the church and parts of the rooms are open to the public year-round, displaying a collection of the family's historical and contemporary pieces—books, charters, armory, paintings, sculptures, furniture, porcelain, portraits, and travel accessories, among others—while also hosting and temporarily hosting various international cultural and artistic exhibitions.
