OVERVIEW
Having been occupied by Romans and Moors, Evora is a city characterized by narrow alleys and whitewashed houses.
Evora's main features include the Temple of Diana, which was used as a slaughterhouse until 1870; the former Convento dos Loios, converted into a splendid pousada and attributed to Francisco de Arruda, architect of the Tower of Belem in Lisbon; and the church of the convent, dedicated to Sao Joao Evangelista and owned by the ducal Cadaval family, which offers azulejos (decorative tiling), trick paintings and ossuary.
Other buildings worth seeing are the Cathedral, or Se, begun twenty years after the reconquest of Evora from the Moors; the Museu de Evora, which houses important collections of fifteenth and sixteenth-century Flemish and Portuguese paintings; the Capela dos Ossos in the church of Sao Francisco, whose walls and pillars are entirely covered with the bones of more than 5000 monks and bears an inscription over the door which reads: 'Nos ossos que aqui estamos, Pelos vossos esperamos' (We, who lie here, wait for you); and the restored Palacio de Dom Manuel in the Jardim Publico.
