Homenagem as vitimas da Inquisicao em Portugal
The institution of the Inquisition in Portugal dates from 1536 and lasted for almost 300 years in Portugal. It was largely responsible for the decline of the first global empire in the world that Portugal had maintained during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Inquisition was responsible for the death of many innocent victims and the greatest symbol of intolerance and religious extremism in the history of Portugal. It was in Praça do Giraldo that most of the victims were burned alive in the horrible acts of faith. The court of the inquisition of Évora was the deadliest of the 4 courts that existed in Portugal of this tenebrous institution.

5.00It was great because it was a private tour and we can ask any questions we wanted. It was laid-back, easy pace, Elsa was very knowledgeable since she was born in. Evora. She understood the history and answered every question that we asked her unlike other tours where we got people that didn’t understand the country giving us a tour.

5.00An easy paced tour, with a detailed history of all the places we visited. Went to many relevant places of interest, and given detailed information about same. Joao is a fantastic guide, and answered each and every question we ask of him. It was clear that he has a very good knowledge of not only the town of Evora, but also Portuguese history, through his education. Highly recommend using Joao as your guide to Evora, but you’ll need more than one day to explore this wonderful town.

5.00This was fantastic. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about history all the way back 1000's of years. He brought the past and the present together. It was so interesting to walk through time. The bone church was fascinating, not creepy. The town is a fun place to wander and explore.
