Evora Travel Guide, Portugal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781715759094)

Evora Travel Guide, Portugal. One of Portugal's most beautifully preserved medieval towns, ﾉvora is an enchanting place to delve into the past. Inside the 14th-century walls, ﾉvora's narrow, winding lanes lead to striking architectural works: an elaborate medieval cathedral and cloisters; the cinematic columns of the Templo Romano (near the intriguing Roman baths); and a picturesque town square, once the site of some rather gruesome episodes courtesy of the Inquisition. Aside from its historic and aesthetic virtues, ﾉvora is also a lively university town, and its many attractive restaurants serve up hearty Alentejan cuisine. Outside of town, Neolithic monuments and rustic wineries make for fine day trips. ﾉvora climbs a gentle hill above the Alentejo plain. Around the walled centre runs a ring road from which you can enter the town on one of several 'spoke' roads. The town's focal point is Pra軋 do Giraldo, 700m from the bus station to the southwest.
