The bronze statue of the famous Portuguese explorer, who discovered the sea route to India, stands on a stone pedestal in the city's public garden. The monument was commissioned by the government of Natal and erected in Évora in 1897 to commemorate Vasco da Gama's arrival in South Africa 400 years earlier. In the background, historic Portuguese buildings can be seen, surrounded by flowering jacaranda trees, renowned for their vibrant purple blossoms in spring and early summer.

Another building that is worth the drive and the search for a parking space.

The cathedral is a must-visit when in Évora. The entrance fee is very reasonable! First, climb the tower and enjoy a fantastic view from the roof of the cathedral. As you descend into the cloister, the beautiful yellow light from the window immediately catches your eye. Simply fascinating!

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.

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. 👍🥾
