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. 👍🥾

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.

Renovated part of the Colégio do Espírito Santo, which has currently been made available to the university located behind it.

The beautiful pavilion dates back to the 19th century and is often used for local music events.

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.
