POS TOUR TO ALENTEJO REGION
Time to Be Happy – Wine Tourism
Day 1 (27th February)
12h00 – City Tour – Évora (until 18h00)
Évora is the inevitable reference point for anyone coming to the Alentejo inspired by the theme
of Heritage. Classified by UNESCO as A World Heritage Site, Évora justly occupies an important
place in any Cultural Tourism itinerary.
Its architectural and artistic heritage is so omnipresent and impressive that this alone guides the
steps of anyone who loves strolling around with no fixed direction: from the Roman to the
Neoclassical, by way of the Gothic and various expressions of the Manueline, the Renaissance
and the Baroque, all the epochs of history are documented with works that fully satisfy the eye
and the soul. Referring only to what is essential, you need several hours to visit the Roman
Temple, the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Igreja (church) de São Francisco and the Chapel of
Bones, the Palace of King D. Manuel, the Ermida (chapel) de São Brás (St Blaize), the MiradorTerrace of the Casa (house) Cordovil, the Manueline Window of the Casa de Garcia da Resende,
the Colégio do Espírito Santo, now part of Évora University, the Igreja da Misericórdia, Praça do
Giraldo (the main square) and the Teatro Garcia de Resende.

Day 2 (28th February)
9h30 – Departure to Monsaraz
10h00 – Visit to Monsaraz
Sited on a hill as if standing guard over the Guadiana river, with stunning views over the Alqueva
lake, this is one of the most emblematic towns of the Alentejo. This ancient seat of human
occupation was finally conquered from the Moors in the 13th century with the assistance of the
Knights Templar, who were then charged with defending and repopulating it. The town grew
gradually in the following century with the city walls and in the 17th century new fortifications
were built here, making this one of the strongholds of the frontier. There are a myriad of reasons
why this town that is a true open-air museum is one of the most-visited towns in the Alentejo.
