Evora is a called medieval city. It is a charming town whose attractions include a cathedral, a roman temple and a ghoulish ossuary chapel. This chapel was constructed with the bones and skulls of nearly 5,000 monks. The narrow streets of this town display superb architecture from Roman to the present. Most of the buildings are covered in the glazed tile and brick designs depicting typical Portugal style of construction. About 48 km northeast of Evora is Vila Vicosa, where the possessions of Dom Manoel II, Portugal's last king, are found in the palace of the Duke of Braganca
