[2025 Evora Attraction] Travel Guide for Aqueduto de Agua de Prata (Updated Apr)

The Évora Aqueduct (Aqueduto da Água de Prata) is an impressive historical structure located in the city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Portugal. It was built in the 16th century to supply fresh water to the city, which often faced droughts. The aqueduct extends for about 18 kilometers from its source to Évora. What makes the Évora Aqueduct particularly unique is that it integrates into the city’s architecture. Within the city walls, houses, shops, and other buildings are constructed beneath and alongside the aqueduct's arches, blending the functional structure with urban life. #europeanarchitecture #100WaysOfTravel #portugal #oldtown #evora #unesco #worldheritage #medieval #roman #aqueduct

Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Portugal, is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, Roman ruins, and rich history. It is about 1.5 hours by car or train from Lisbon so it makes a perfect day trip destination from Lisbon. The historic centre of Evora is small enough to be explored on foot. The major attractions include: 🌟 Roman Temple (Templo Romano de Évora) This is one of the best-preserved Roman structures on the Iberian Peninsula, dating back to the 1st century. 🌟 Cathedral of Évora (Sé de Évora) A massive Gothic structure with stunning views from the roof. 🌟 Praça do Giraldo The main square of Évora, surrounded by historical buildings and filled with local cafes. 🌟 Évora Aqueduct (Aqueduto da Água de Prata) A marvel of Renaissance engineering built to supply water to the city in the 16th century #citydaytours #100WaysOfTravel #portugal #oldtown #evora #unesco #worldheritage #medieval #roman #aqueduct

#2023travelwish Evora is the capital of Portugal's south-central Alentejo region. The city's historic centre is small enough to be explored on foot. You certainly won't miss the landmarks such as the ancient Roman Temple of Évora (also called the Temple of Diana) from 1st century, Cathedral of Évora from 12th century and also spectacular stone aqueduct that borders the old town from the 16th century. I like the old town centre as it is well-preserved. You can see a lot of medieval walls amidst the new buildings. In 2023 I wish to travel to Korea as my Korea trip was cancelled 2 years ago due to the pandemic. So it's time to fly again! #portugal #oldtown #evora #unesco #worldheritage #medieval #roman #aqueduct Locations: Templo Romano Évora Largo do Conde de Vila Flor, 7000-863 Évora, Portugal H3FV+23 Evora, Portugal Aqueduto da Água de Prata R. do Muro 8, 7000-592 Évora, Portugal H3GP+9V Evora, Portugal
