Garcia de Resende Theatre

Highlight • Monument

The Teatro Garcia de Resende, named after the Renaissance artist from Évora with the same name, is one of the best examples of the so-called “Italian theatres” in Portugal. And it is even on a par with some in Europe, such as the famous Scala in Milan.

José Ramalho Dinis Perdigão, owner of the Teatro Garcia de Resende, began construction in October 1881. As with other theatres in the 19th century, it was the elite of the city of Évora who pushed for this project, whose main objective was to reduce unemployment and crime.

The death of the “creator” of the Teatro Garcia de Resende in 1884 slowed down its completion. It was only in 1890 that the work was completed, largely thanks to Dr. Francisco Barahona, a man of refined and cosmopolitan tastes, to whom the widow D. Inácia Fernandes de Barahona remarried.

The inauguration of the theatre took place on the first day of June 1892, with the play “O Intimo” by E. Schwalbach, staged by the famous Companhia de Teatro do D. Maria II. The play was attended by Prince Afonso.

Church of Graça and Old Convent of the Augustinians

Highlight • Religious Site

Tucked away in an alley off Rua da República is one of Évora's most curious churches. Built between 1537 and 1546, it is crowned by four large mythological figures supporting globes meant to symbolize the four corners of the earth and the universal power of King João III. Despite its striking granite exterior, it (apparently) has a very simple interior, as its altarpieces and much of its art were moved to the Igreja de Sao Francisco. It is considered a unique Renaissance building on the Iberian Peninsula and is now listed as a national monument.
Unfortunately, the church is not regularly open to the public. It is part of a monastery located next door, which currently serves as a military mess hall.

Rua Nova Water Tank

Highlight • Monument

Architectural and sculptural work from the mid-16th century. It is part of the Água de Prata aqueduct, which crosses the city.
A monument with very simple lines that proves its more utilitarian rather than aesthetic function. Its Tuscan-style columns have very simple and poorly decorated capitals.
The Rua Nova water tank is an integral part of the historic center of Évora and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Giraldo Square

Highlight • Historical Site

There are a couple of cafes with seats outside ... For a break in between ... And just watch the hustle and bustle of the city.

Évora Public Library

Highlight • Monument

The library was opened in 1666 with the intention of serving as the Colégio dos Moss do Coro da Sé (Cathedral Choir School). At that time, the building was directly connected by an arcaded bridge to the Archiepiscopal Palace, now the Museum of Évora and the Cathedral. Today, the Public Library of Évora is one of the oldest and richest in Portugal. Its unique holdings include, in particular, its collection of books printed with movable type in the early days of the printing press, lithographs, and itineraries of ancient sailors and explorers.
A must-see for anyone interested. The building is divided into three sections open to the public.

Roman Temple of Évora

Highlight • Historical Site

This Roman temple was built in the first century AD. For a long time it was thought to be dedicated to the goddess Diana. Today it is fairly certain that it was built as a sign of conquest.

Church of St. John the Evangelist / Church of the Lords

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of São João Evangelista is particularly impressive due to the huge tile paintings that cover the entire walls and the magnificent altar.
