Lonely Planet review

Outside the town walls to the northeast is the Universidade de Évora, a descendent (reopened in 1973) of the original Jesuit institution founded in 1559 (which closed when the Jesuits got shooed out by Marquês de Pombal in 1759). Inside are arched, Italian Renaissance-style courtyards, a brazilwood ceiling and beautiful azulejos .
