- Lisbon - This is the starting point, where the group will gather at the designated location for pickup and proceed directly to the destinations and the experience in Évora.
- Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana) - The group will explore the Roman Temple, constructed in the 1st century AD, featuring a hexastyle-peripteral design with a Corinthian colonnade, making it one of the most distinguished examples of classical architecture in Portugal.
- Aqueduto da Agua de Prata - This is a significant heritage structure in Évora, built on the ancient Roman aqueduct, and serves as a reminder of a unique moment in the Kingdom of Portugal.
- Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora) - The Cathedral of Évora, for many years, reflected medieval architecture. Its construction began in 1280 as a Cathedral. It marks the passage of time as a transitional work, a hybrid structure that emerged from the Romanesque shadow into the Gothic light, consecrated in 1308 as one of the largest Cathedrals in Portugal.
- Palacio de Dom Manuel - This is a surviving piece of a once grand palace complex, which at the start of the 16th century, under D. Manuel, integrated the convent of São Francisco. Initiated by D. João I at the end of the 14th century, it is one of the greatest Manueline works with Mudéjar influence, symbolizing Évora, the political and cultural capital of the Portuguese Kingdom.
- Capela dos Ossos - Situated inside the Church of São Francisco de Évora, the group will visit one of the most extraordinary Christian temples in Portugal and the renowned Bone Chapel, a place rich in details and incredible history.
- Praca do Giraldo - The city’s Great Square is an urban space that likely originated as a public space during the late centuries of the city’s Muslim occupation. However, it was only from the 13th century onwards that it began to be structured as the center of Évora, when the fair began to be held, regulated by the Concordat of D. Dinis in 1286, establishing itself as a commercial center. The old arcades stand out, as well as the Church of Santo Antão, built in 1577 by Alfonso Álvares, the same architect who designed the Fountain that punctuates the space. A monumental work, which preserves praise to King Sebastián. In 1869, the square was named Giraldo Square, in memory of the knight who reconquered the city from the Muslims in the 12th century.
- Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Graca - The Convent of Graça is a royal work, designed by Chanterenne, projected by Miguel de Arruda, and supported by the erudition of the humanist and first Portuguese archaeologist André de Resende. Its forms already display principles of early mannerism. It is a full manifestation of Évora in the 1930s of the 16th century. On the frieze of the temple, D. João III marks his presence: JONNIS III PATRIS PATRIAE. Crowning the facade. The monumental sculptures are solemn Renaissance iconography, elevated to the status of urban myth by the romanticism of the centuries.
- Evora Public Garden - Sponsored by the farmer Ramalho Perdigão and designed with pen and paper, free of charge, by the Italian scenographer Giuseppe Cinatti, the Public Garden was a work of notable sociocultural dimension for the city in the second half of the 19th century and provided the note of lightness that the old medieval town needed to face contemporary times. After deconstructing what was left of the old royal gardens, Cinatti would take almost two decades to complete his work: a fenced boulevard, inspired by the new European trends in leisure spaces and he did so by finishing it with the fantasy of ‘‘fake ruins’’, in 1866.
- Igreja da Misericordia - The Christian temple of Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia is one of the last works of the Eborense Renaissance, announcing a severe baroque style. The first stone was laid in 1554, and the façade was altered in the second half of the 18th century, but it was the work carried out on the interior, during the time of D. João V (1689-1750), that gave it an unusual elegance and refinement. It is perhaps the most delicate set of gilded carvings and tiles in Évora, boasting simply remarkable quality and harmony. It is in the symbiosis and balance between these two registers that its simple beauty is defined, undoubtedly one of Évora’s greatest legacies to Portuguese art.
- Evora - After visiting all the places in this experience, the group will return to Lisbon for drop-off at the hotel.
