Roman Temple of Évora

A Remarkable Surprise in the Heart of Évora Our visit to the Roman Temple of Évora turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights of our trip. After exploring the site, we sat just south of the temple at a small nearby bar, enjoying a cold beer and a glass of wine in the sunshine a perfect setting to take in the view. The temple itself, with its beautiful surroundings and remarkably well-preserved columns, carries an incredible story. It’s hard to believe it’s still standing after centuries of history and change. The fact that it’s completely free to visit made it feel like even more of a hidden gem. Honestly, it felt like a bit of good luck that we stumbled upon such a special place in such a relaxed and charming way. Absolutely worth a visit if you find yourself in Évora you won’t be disappointed.

Probably my favourite place to visit in Evora. Iconic stop. Ancient Corinthian columns from the 1st century, right in the historic centre, free to see any time. You must visit it while in Evora

Free entry visit, it is actually located in the middle of a small square behind the famous Cathedral. No need to wait for taking a picture, no need to buy a ticket. There’s also viewpoint pretty closeby , so you can see Alentejo landscape.

The Roman temple in Evora, conveniently located near the city center, is free to visit. This well-preserved Roman monument offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this ancient town. You can easily spend 15 minutes exploring this remarkable structure. As a bonus, just across the street, there’s a kiosk and a park where you can take a refreshing break.

if i could give it four and a half stars i would. not only did this structure contain not all its columns. it also was gated off from my little feet. see my little feet like to scamper and this roman structure is begging to be scampered on. i was highly disappointed in the contemporary design of the station does not complement the structure at all. four and half stars, would’ve been five if u had all ur columns. don’t lose columns next time. geez. i came here with my family. our vacation was ruined by the absence.

Pretty amazing to witness the structure. Such history and still in such great shape. Definitely a highlight.

History right in front of us. About 2000 years old and beautifully preserved. Highly recommended stopping by and seeing.

Lovely, well preserved Roman ruins and a cathedral nearby. Not as fancy as Lisbon but also not as crazy busy..

My wife and I were here on a Gate1 tour. We visited the Roman Temple, aka Temple of Diana, (Templo Romano de Évora (Templo de Diana)), partially in ruins but with 14 of 18 original Corinthian columns that survived time and Germanic invasions in the 5th century. Next to it is a former museum, now the Hotel Pousada dos Loios. We wandered past the Roman Temple and saw a park nearby, then visited the many interesting shops nearby afterwards.

The Roman Temple of Évora is stood silently near the Diana Garden. No one know when the temple was constructed. Many believe is 1st AD. This temple left only the column. The wall is disappearing from the past. It is close to cathedral of the Évora. Roman has been here. This may be their public square. Next to the temple is garden of Diana. Many also call this Roman temple as Temple of Diana. I think you may want to check out the coffee vendor who sell the salty cod fish pastry. It is delicious.

Going to visit the Palaces of the Dukes of Casaval, you see off to your left this Roman Temple. It was built in the 1st or 2nd century. Amazing that it is still standing after all these years.

The Temple in Evora was originally thought to honor Diana but it turns out to be one of Augustus' temples to Augustus. They found a cenotaph recently that pretty much proves that. It's a gorgeous structure and on a beautiful day makes for a striking photograph. Don't miss this or the nearby museum if you are in the area.

Who doesn't love a Roman Temple Ruin sitting on the highest point of a walled city? I just feel like I went back in time several thousand years! This is a walk by selfie opportunity for the best of us!
