Évora Cathedral

The Cathedral Basilica of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, better known as the Évora Cathedral is located in the Marquês de Marialva Square.
The Évora Cathedral is the largest cathedral in Portugal. Built in 1186, consecrated in 1204, and immediately used as one of the great temples of Marian worship, it was only completed in 1250. This monument displays the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style, with subsequent Renaissance and Baroque addi-tions.
You can also visit the 1325 Gothic cloister and go up to the terrace, where you have a beautiful view of the entire city of Évora, since the Cathedral is located at its highest point.
It has been classified as a National Monument since 1907.
