Look into Evora vacation rentals for your next Portugal vacation. Evora is like an outdoor museum with several marvelously preserved monuments and buildings. The Romans left Evora its most famous landmark, the Temple of Diana. Dating back to the 2nd century, it is one of the Iberian Peninsula's best preserved Roman monuments with 14 of the original 18 granite Corinthian columns still standing. The city’s whitewashed houses, arches, and twisting alleyways acknowledge the Moorish presence. Praça do Giraldo, the main square, was an execution ground during the Inquisition but is now filled with shops and cafes. The region offers an extensive lodging infrastructure with vacation homes for rent in Evora, hotels, Evora vacation rentals and Bed & Breakfasts.

Of all the churches in Evora, do not miss the Church of São Francisco, a Manueline-Gothic structure completed around 1510. It is said that Portuguese navigator Gil Vicente is buried in it. Covering the walls of the church's Chapel of Bones are the bones and skulls of some 5000 people. Outside the city walls on the way to the train station is Ermita de São Brás, an amazing 1485 building that looks like a medieval castle, complete with large battlements, gargoyles, and round buttresses. The Cromlech of Almendres dating from somewhere between 4000 and 2000 B.C has been called "the Portuguese Stonehenge." It is the most important megalithic group in the Iberian Peninsula.
