Of course there are medieval villages in the rustic Alentejo and even a 2000 year old town that once was an important outpost of the Roman Empire… Evora. When you arrive, you’ll soon see and feel why Evora is listed by the UNESCO World Heritage list, thanks to its soul-inspiring heritage, historic cobble-stoned lanes, imposing medieval walls, Roman temples and a dramatic fortress-like Gothic cathedral,
