Highlights
This tour allows you to know the history and identity of Alentejo through two sites of high heritage value: the medieval Villa de Monsaraz and the historic city of Évora. Monsaraz is a medieval Villa of Islamic origin that preserves its urban organization almost intact. The narrow streets of shale, the broken houses and the walls create an authentic and unique environment, distinguished as one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal in the category of Monument Villages. The Villa still retains strong handicraft traditions, which reflect the cultural heritage and lifestyle of the region. Evora, located in the heart of the Alentejo, is known as a “museum city” for its large concentration of historical heritage. Its historic centre, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brings together traces of different times, integrated into the daily life of the city. The union between Monsaraz and Évora provides a rich, authentic and memorable cultural experience.

Itinerary
Monsaraz, with its walls and castle built in the Middle Ages, is a Villa located on top of an elevation, offering a wide view over the Alentejo plain, the Guadiana river and the Alqueva dam. Its preserved urban trace reflects the strategic and defensive importance it had throughout history.
The Church of St. Francis in Évora, built in the 14th century, is a building of great religious and artistic relevance, associated with the Franciscan presence in the city. It stands out for the sobriety of its architecture and the richness of its inner heritage.
The Bone Chapel, annexed to the Church of San Francisco and built in the 16th century, is one of the most unique monuments in Portugal. Decorated with human bones and skulls, it conveys a symbolic message about the transitory nature of life, creating a space of strong cultural and spiritual Readership.
The Historic Centre of Évora is an exceptional urban complex, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is characterized by its narrow streets, historic squares and buildings that reflect different periods of history, from Roman times to the Renaissance.
The Roman Temple of Évora, traditionally known as the Temple of Diana, was built in the 1st century AD.C., is one of the best preserved Roman vestiges in Portugal. It represents the importance of the city of Évora during the Roman period and the continuation of urban occupation over the centuries.
The Cathedral of Évora, built in the 13th century, is the largest medieval monument in the city. Prevailing in Gothic style, with Romanesque influences, it stands out for its architectural imposition and for the central role it played in the religious life of the region.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
