This tour allows you to know the history and identity of Alentejo through two sites of high heritage value: the medieval Villa de Monsaraz and the historic city of Évora.
Monsaraz is a medieval Villa of Islamic origin that preserves its urban organization almost intact. The narrow streets of shale, the broken houses and the walls create an authentic and unique environment, distinguished as one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal in the category of Monument Villages. The Villa still retains strong handicraft traditions, which reflect the cultural heritage and lifestyle of the region.
Evora, located in the heart of the Alentejo, is known as a “museum city” for its large concentration of historical heritage. Its historic centre, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, brings together traces of different times, integrated into the daily life of the city.
The union between Monsaraz and Évora provides a rich, authentic and memorable cultural experience.
