Évora is one of the most extraordinary cities in the Iberian Peninsula — its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, packed with treasures from every era: the 2nd-century Roman Temple, the medieval Cathedral, the Renaissance Convent of São Francisco with its unsettling Chapel of Bones, and an intact cluster of whitewashed palaces and churches within the Roman walls. Surrounded by prehistoric megaliths, Évora is an open-air museum city.
