#2 of 240 in Historic Sites in Alentejo
Religious Site Tourist Spot Must See
See the remains of the ancient Roman Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana), with a preserved base and columns carved out of granite and marble, positioned at the center of a public square. This two-millennia-old religious structure stands 9.7 m (32 ft) tall and 25 m (82 ft) wide, and was originally surrounded by a reflecting pool. Built mainly for religious purposes, the site was historically used also as an execution point and a slaughterhouse. View its 14 original granite Corinthian columns with decorative marble capitals, sturdy enough to have withstood the destructive earthquake of 1755.

    Surprising to see this kind of monument in the heart of Evora well placed for beautiful photos. Accessible and well-indicated

    This Roman temple is not worth a great detour in itself, but if you are at the cathedral you should visit it for free. This is typical for Evora: different history periods are immediately next to each other.

    It's not big in size but huge in history. Dating back to the first century after Christ. The pillars still quite preserved.

    Interesting historical landmark of Évora. A few pillars remain, outlining the ruins of an old Roman temple. Located close to the city center, this place also offers a small park to sit and enjoy the sun.
  • By Elsie Snyman-Ferreira
    Evora is such a beautiful place to visit. Magnificent buildings, rich history. The city is built inside the castle walls. Many little streets and shops and a beautiful mix of old and new.
  • By George Joy Pettah
    Completely different to the prevalent architecture of the area. Only a few pillars remain. But interesting.
  • By irwin levinstein
    If you like old Roman temples this is worth a visit. Pretty well preserved. Striking contrast with the surrounding Iberian architecture and nearby Christian churches.
  • By Sean Clinnin
    Nice town, good restaurants, great views, countryside, cobblestone streets, refurbished buildings, Roman Ruin 13 century renovated ABB houses!
