Evora, 2017

We visited Evora in 2010 (http://roadeveron.blogspot.pt/2010/01/evora.html), pretty much for the same reasons as in 2017: it's a beautiful city, with many items of interest (http://roadeveron.blogspot.pt/2010/01/chapel-of-bones.html), and it's in the middle of the megalithic wonderland of Alentejo.

Arcade on one side of the main plaza: interesting variation in arch size, style

On the main plaza

Lest it be forgotten: the Pope was in Portugal at the same time as our visit;
just FYI

Evora cathedral

Enticing museum signs; and in English, too; maybe next time

One of Evora's main draws, its Roman temple

A lesser draw...within a couple hundred meters of both the 
cathedral and the Roman temple is  the old city water tower; 
its placement is quite a curiosity; but the city leaders have 
made lemonade, or maybe even a Pisco Sour, from the lemons,
turning the water tower into a museum...perhaps the world's
only museum of water towers

Thus; and in English too

And not unrelated: a few meters down the lane was this
structure, which we surmised was the tomb of someone
important, maybe Roman, maybe Renaissance...no, we
later were told, it was at this point that the Roman
aquaduct met the Roman city walls: the little "tomb" was
actually where you went to get your water

Continuing down the alley...

This sign caught Vicki's attention, especially the "addictive" part

Her berry tea and pastels de nata; she bought an order to go, too

My country grilled sandwich: Iberian ham, sausage slices, tomato, and queso, 
grilled, with oregano sprinkled atop; and a cerveza; all of this, both of us, came
to 9 euros, t & t incl.

But wait, there's more...this little place is built right into the Roman wall

And they do fado on weekend nights

Interesting and pretty place, Evora

Even a 15th century aquaduct
