  2. Museu de Évora

    Adjacent to the cathedral, in what used to be the archbishop's palace (built in the 16th century), is the elegant Museu de Évora. Fragments of old Roman and Manueline statuary and façades line the courtyard, which has been excavated to reveal Visigothic, Roman and medieval remains. In polished rooms upstairs are former Episcopal furnishings and a gallery of Flemish paintings.
