1. The Cromeleque of the Almendres is a reflection of gigantic proportions of the age of pagan enchantment, known like New Age of the Stone. Built towards sunrise and sunset, this megalithic enclosure is located on a gentle slope on the property of Almendres. A place that could very well represent the Alentejo. Formed by two distinct enclosures, built between the end of the sixth and third millennium BC, this cromlech is one of the largest and most important megalithic monuments in the world. It is much older than the famous Stonehenge.

2. You can see its silhouette from far away, elaborated in the urban landscape. The magnificence of the Cathedral of Évora can also be seen in the three large ships of the interior. In the highest, the central nave, we find the altar of Our Lady of the Angel. It is completely made of wood carving from the Baroque era, with Gothic images of the Virgin Mary and the Angel Gabriel in marble. In addition you can admire the pulpit and the most beautiful tube organ of the Renaissance period.

3. The chapel was built in the 17th century with the aim of conveying the message of temporality and fragility of human life. This message appears clearly to the visitors of the Chapel of Bones, just at the entrance, through the plaque "We bones, we are here, for you, we hope". In fact, it shows the macabre taste of Baroque men for necrophilia. The human bones and skulls carefully scattered and connected with cement cover the walls of the Bones Chapel and its eight pillars.

4. This Roman temple in Evora is one of the largest and best preserved Roman temples in the Iberian Peninsula. That's why it was considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. This is the ex-libris of the city, a kind of business card. And, of course, the most important representative of the Romans remains in Evora.

About Lissabon

Lissabon stroomt van zijn heuvels af naar de Taag, een stad van betegelde gevels, ratelende gele trams, uitkijkterrassen en late, rustige diners.

De oude wijken bezitten de meeste charme. Het kluwen van steegjes in Alfama klimt naar het Castelo de São Jorge en weerklinkt 's avonds van fado, het regelmatige stratenraster van de Baixa loopt af naar het ruime Praça do Comércio aan de rivier, en Bairro Alto en Chiado combineren overdag boekwinkels en cafés met bars 's nachts. Uitzichtpunten als Santa Luzia en Senhora do Monte omlijsten rode daken en glinsterend water.

Top-ranked sights in Lissabon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
