Museu de Evora

The Museu de Evora dates back to 1804, when the archbishop of the city inaugurated a public library to exhibit his collections of art and archaeology. But it wasn't until 1929 after several moves, that it was installed in the old Episcopal Palace. We went on a Sunday morning, because all Portuguese state monuments are free to visit that day. After you enter, you have to follow a path in and out, there is a glassed-in cloister, souvenir shop, then a rest room, where you can admire a magnificent view of the Temple of Diana while sitting in comfortable armchairs having a coffee from the machine. From this point out there are two flights of stairs that lead to the different floors of the museum.
