Explore Evoa with Praca do Giraldo Walking Tour

Evora is a city that recycled its own past, and this self-guided walking tour follows that reused stone through the golden UNESCO capital of the Alentejo. A Roman temple survived five centuries walled up as a butcher's shop. A 16th-century aqueduct has whitewashed houses built into its arches. One chapel is lined with the bones of five thousand people.

Everything runs from your smartphone, with no app to download: a clear map of all 10 stops, walking directions, and a short audio story at each location followed by an interactive quiz that turns the walk into a game rather than a lecture.

The route covers about 2 km at an easy pace, from the Agua de Prata Aqueduct and a hidden Roman gate to the Roman Temple, the fortress cathedral, the Chapel of Bones, the palace where Vasco da Gama received his command, the old Jewish quarter and Praca do Giraldo.
