The remains of the ancient city of Evora, Portugal, and the Almendres Cromlech Stonehenge

#September2024 Evora, Portugal was established during the Roman Empire rule around the 3rd century. It was once the Roman Empire's resident base for a long time, so many relics of that time are left behind. After the fall of the Roman Empire, it was successively occupied by the Visigoths and the Moors. Therefore, the buildings are mostly a mix of Romanesque, Gothic and Arabic styles. As an important religious and cultural city, Évora was also listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1986. Famous attractions include the Capela dos Ossos Chapel, located in the square in front of St. Francis Catholic Church? Next to it is the Church of Our Lady of Grace, Igreja da Graça. It is really comfortable to stroll on the cobblestone streets in the city of Évora. In the center of Placa do Giraldo Square, the surrounding shopping streets are crowded and quite lively. The Roman Temple Templo romano de Évora is an ancient Roman site listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. It was built around the 1st century AD and is dedicated to Diana, the ancient Roman goddess of the moon and hunting. It is also the best-preserved Roman temple on the Iberian Peninsula. If you have more time, you can go to the Almendres Cromlech Stonehenge, which is located 15 kilometers west of Evora. It is similar to Stonehenge in the UK. It is the largest existing circular stone circle on the Iberian Peninsula and is very suitable for taking pictures.
