The Roman temple of Évora, erroneously known as Temple of Diana, is located in the city of Évora, in Portugal; is part of the historical center of the city, which was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. The Roman temple is classified as a National Monument by the DGPC. It is one of the most famous landmarks of the city and one of the most significant symbols of the Roman presence in Portuguese territory.

Located in the parish of Sé and São Pedro, in Largo Conde de Vila Flor, it is surrounded by the Cathedral of Évora, the Inquisition Court, the Church and Convent of Lóios, the Évora Public Library and the Museum.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Cathedral of Evora (Se Catedral de Evora), Largo do Marques de Marialva, Evora 7000-809 Portugal

The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, better known as the Cathedral of Évora, or simply Sé de Évora, although begun in 1186 and consecrated in 1204, this cathedral of granite was only completed in 1250. It is a monument marked by the transition of style Romanesque to Gothic, marked by three majestic ships. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the cathedral received major improvements, dating back to that time the choir, pulpit, baptistery and arch of the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, also known as Chapel of the Esporão, a rare example of Plateresque hybrid architecture, dating from 1529. Some baroque altarpieces date back to the Baroque period and other occasional improvements in the sumptuous decorations. Still in the 18th century the cathedral was enriched with the construction of the new main chapel, sponsored by King D. João V, where the exuberance of the marbles was wisely combined with the Roman-Gothic austerity of the temple. In 1930, at the request of the Archbishop of Évora, Pope Pius XI granted the Cathedral the title of Smaller Basilica. In the following decades, some restoration work was carried out, such as the demolition of the dressing rooms of the 18th century, which allowed the exterior face and the rosettes of the cloister to be exposed, and some Baroque altarpieces that distorted the medieval atmosphere of the aisles.
