Inland Alentejo

Alentejo is Portugal's best-kept secret ...it's where according to the Financial Times you will find "the perfect peace"... where it's possible to live and enjoy nature as in no other place in the country.

For those valuing nature in its most authentic character, looking for own retreat or an opportunity to develop rural tourism activity of any dimension, Inland Alentejo is a gem to explore, a region with tremendous real estate growth opportunity.

Évora is not only the capital of the Alentejo, it is also the living intersection of Portugal’s heritage and a testament to its riches. UNESCO classifies Évora as a World Heritage site for the way history is writ large in its streets. Within the old city walls, one can trace Portugal’s trajectory through Celtic, Roman, Visigoth, and Moorish dominion over two centuries.

Évora’s golden age began in the 15th century after the royal family chose it as Portugal’s second city. The churches, places, buildings, and monuments that then flourished survived the earthquake of 1755, leaving a snapshot of what might have stood elsewhere. Today, it is a vibrant and dynamic centre, an essential destination in its own right but also the ideal base from which to explore an authentic Portugal.

In the historic centre of the city is the ancient Roman Temple of Évora (also known as the Temple of Diana). Nearby, whitewashed houses surround the Sé Catedral de Évora. The Church of São Francisco has Gothic and Baroque architecture, along with the famous Capela dos Ossos.

The Alentejo is a gastronomic destination for some and a natural retreat for others -- a get-away from the coastal bustle. The principal products of Portugal can all be found in the Alentejo: vineyards, potteries, olive groves, cork forests, and marble quarries contribute to the culture and character of the province’s varied villages and towns. It is where generations of students have come to achieve higher learning and where artisans and architects have come to source materials and learn techniques.
