Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana)
See the remains of the ancient Roman Templo Romano de Evora (Templo de Diana), with a preserved base and columns carved out of granite and marble, positioned at the center of a public square. This two-millennia-old religious structure stands 9.7 m (32 ft) tall and 25 m (82 ft) wide, and was originally surrounded by a reflecting pool. Built mainly for religious purposes, the site was historically used also as an execution point and a slaughterhouse. View its 14 original granite Corinthian columns with decorative marble capitals, sturdy enough to have withstood the destructive earthquake of 1755.

While it's very impressive to see the remains of this ancient temple still standing 2,000 years after it was built, there's not much to it. It's just this structure. Don't get me wrong, I love the town of Evora. It is adorable, but the temple alone is not that impressive.

Beautiful ruins of the Roman temple which are located close to the city centre and Evora Cathedral. There is a small outside cafe near to it if you would like to relax nearby. What is missing? History and story behind this monument. There is a small board with information that it was built about 2,000 years ago and most probably was dedicated to the Roman goddess Diana. But these few details are not enough to submerge yourself more into this city thousands of years ago and feel it’s atmosphere. I think there could have been more information on how the city looked like back then, what was the life like, who were the citizens? Why the Cathedral was built so close to the Temple? Unfortunately, I stayed with too many unanswered questions (leaving me a bit annoyed and unsatisfied because I couldn’t find more information online 🤓)
