Évora owes its importance to a history dating back to prehistoric times, with several remains from that period, such as the Almendres Cromlech, Anta Grande do Zambujeiro, among many other megalithic sites. But history has overlapped with this, making it one of the most notable Roman cities in Lusitania - Ebora Liberalitas Júlia, with several remains, notably the Roman Temple, the baths, the wall and others.

It then became one of the major urban centres in the south of the Portuguese kingdom, a place where monarchs frequently visited and stayed. The Visigoths and Arabs also passed through here, leaving their mark in the form of the so-called ‘Mudejar style’. It later received the influence of humanism, and it was here that some of the first great architectural works of the Iberian Renaissance appeared, around 1530.

On a walking tour of Évora with Superb Tours, you will get to know the city, with an introduction to the places and monuments we pass by.

Here are some of the monuments and tourist attractions along this route, although many others will appear along the way:
- Roman Temple – Domus Municipalis – Mouraria – Santa Isabel Gate – Chapel of Bones – Church of São Francisco – University – Roman Baths – Church and Convent of Graça – Giraldo Square – Jewish Quarter – Água de Prata Aqueduct – Church of Espírito Santo – Moura Gates – Cathedral – City Walls

After visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we head to São Pedro do Corval, the largest pottery centre in the country and the home of Alentejo pottery par excellence. We will visit one of more than 20 potteries, where artisans create extraordinary handmade pieces on potter's wheels, fire them in wood-fired kilns, and then paint them by hand with the traditional colours of the Alentejo.

We continue on to the Cromeleque do Xerez to visit this megalithic monument, consisting of 50 phallic-shaped granite menhirs, ranging in height from 1.20 m to 1.50 m, erected between the early 4th and mid-3rd millennium BC.

Monsaraz is perhaps the highlight of this tour, due to the incomparable beauty of this medieval village that seems to have stopped in time. But also because of the landscapes that can be seen from the top of the hill, especially after the construction of the Alqueva Dam, which brought the waters of this large lake (the largest artificial lake in Europe) to Monsaraz, forming countless peninsulas and small islands. Monsaraz won the 7 Wonders of Portugal – Villages initiative in the Monument Villages category.
