July 12 - Walk around the historic district of town. Evora has a nice vibe to it, quiet and unassuming. This is partly the result of how they route the traffic. The large roads are all outside the old city walls, and only a fraction of those vehicles enter through the small streets where all the sights are located.
In the center of town is a partly preserved Roman temple to Diana from the 1st C CE.
Next stop at the Evora Cathedral, where there is access to the roof.
Wander around and find a great Italian restaurant for lunch. Getting lunch can be tricky in Portugal - many places close 1-2 pm and don’t open again until 5 pm. We normally want food at 2-4 pm so that we get both lunch and dinner taken care of at the same time.
On to the Igreja de Sao Francisco, where yet another chapel lined with bones awaits us. This one was apparently directly inspired by the one we saw weeks ago in Milan.
Visit the attached Museum of Evora. The city is known for its museums, though we only go into a few.
