Evora

After leaving the Algarve, we drove back up north to Evora.  Evora is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  It used to be a Moorish city and was also under Roman rule.  The first thing we did was go to the city center.  This is a place where they post the names of people that died.  Apparently there were no deaths the day before.

Most of the buildings in the city are white with yellow trim.  The yellow is supposed to ward off evil spirits.  

The remains of a Roman temple, in the middle of town.

Church 

Town Hall.

While they were renovating, they found this Roman bath inside the Town Hall.  So I guess the renovations stopped.  

We read about the ruins of a Roman aqueduct, and we walked in circles until we found it.  Once we saw it in person, we were a little less than impressed.  Unlike the Roman bath above, which I had zero expectations of and when we found it, thought it was super interesting.  

More to come...
