Évora Cathedral

The cathedral was changed and fortified throughout the years, so has a jumble of architecture. The interior contains a 15th century statue of the pregnant Virgin Mary known as The Lady of Mothers. There was probably a mosque here before.

Megaliths Sites

This Neolithic site, known as Cromlech of Almendres, is a mysterious site made up of 95 granite stones, forming two huge circles, dating back 8,000 years.
