A short flight from Funchal to Lisbon around an hour and a half, pick up the car from the a long stay parking garage and off we go to Evora one of our favorite towns in Portugal. The journey takes us on the long bridge over the River Tagus, motorway all the way getting to Evora in a little less than two hours. The photo shows three of the main sights of Evora, on the left The Convento dos Loios from the 15th. Century. Now a Pousada hotel. In the centre The Templo Romano from the 1st. Century and just to the right The Cathedral built from the 13th. to the 14th. century
Praca de Giraldo the main square. The church of Santo Antaos- Ingreja de Santo Antao at the head of the square.
Praca de Giraldo looking in the other direction.
Some modern sculptures made from the local marble, the quarries are just a few kilometres away from Evora.
One of the many squares in the town.
The main door to the Convento. The hotel uses a door to the side not quite as impressive as this door.
