Évora is a Portuguese city in the municipality of Évora. This small but beautiful city is located in the heart of Alentejo, a large region of wide plains on the south of Portugal, bordered on the North by the Tagus River and on the South by the region of Algarve.

The city has a very well-preserved historical centre, partially enclosed by Medieval walls, where many valuable monuments can be visited: a Roman temple, a Museum, churches and chapels (amongst which, Capela dos Ossos!), a 16^th century university, etc.
