Lovely view, great photo ops

The temple, built in the first half of the first century AD. C., which as we can see today, it is completely surrounded by a portico more evident than was the forum of the Roman city, large square that stretched at its greatest extent, in the north-south direction and trace, in following archaeological work done in that area, we know that occupied all the space goes, roughly, the southern boundary of the garden to the Cathedral and the Palace of the Inquisition until Cadaval Palace. Rectangular in plan, with 25x15m, hexastilo (with six columns on its front) and periptero (with free speaker to involve the entire perimeter of the cell), was built in the Corinthian style with use of local materials, marble column bases and in capitals and granite structure of the podium, the pediments and entablature. A wrap it north, east and west in a tank signinum opus (lime mortar, sand and crushed pottery) created a water mirror certainly connected with the cult.

    Striking feature of a pretty historic center
    Walking through Evora is fascinating as you see how the town has grown within and around the ancient city walls. The temple is a striking remnant of the city's ancient history. It's in a quiet and pleasant square near the museum - it's definitely a highlight of any visit to the town.

    Interesting, not exciting
    After walking up the hills to the site, it was somewhat of a disappointment . You get to take a few pictures and that is that. There is a church nearby and a fairly expensive restaurant, but the primary items of interest are all the stores that you walk past on your way up to the site. Lots of Cork products including 80 euro cork umbrellas that we should have had as it rained on our parade.
