Overview

Step beyond Évora’s famous Roman Temple and discover the ancient city at the heart of Roman Lusitania.

For around five centuries, Roman Ebora was an important urban centre. On this private walking tour, your local cultural expert reveals its Roman legacy through archaeology, architecture and surviving traces.

Begin at the Roman Temple and explore what historians and archaeologists can tell us, including how its traditional association with Diana developed. Continue through the historic centre to uncover traces of the Roman city, its defences, water systems and urban development.

Visit the National Museum Frei Manuel do Cenáculo, where archaeological evidence reveals the people and daily life of Roman Évora.

Discover how later generations transformed the Roman city, shaping Évora today.

Go beyond the postcard and discover the Roman city beneath Évora.
