"The city of Évora owes its original name Ebora to the Celts and is one of the most beautiful historic cities in the world.The Romans built their glorious temple in honor of Emperor Augustus and the Portuguese nobility had erected imposing palaces, chapels, convents, churches and the majestic Gothic cathedral.Traces of different eras and civilizations remain practically intact in a city where people stroll through cobbled medieval streets. Larely arcades give way to picturesque squares."

"Évora was considered a world heritage site by Unesco in 1986. According to the organization, Évora is a city-museum whose roots date back to Roman times. The golden era was in the 16th century when it was the residence of Portuguese kings.
The white houses, the tiles and the balconies stand out in the architectural details. That is why Évora is the best example of a city at the height of Portuguese history after the destruction of Lisbon in the earthquake of 1755. Visiting Évora today can be an inspiration. It was in the past, when he helped create some Portuguese cities in Brazil, such as Salvador da Bahia.
In addition, UNESCO refers to the wall, the Aqueduct of the Silver Water, medieval buildings such as the cathedral, convents, palaces, churches, squares as reasons of strength to visit Évora."
