When to go to Évora?

Inside its walls, Évora is a town of white houses and ochre trim in the middle of the Alentejo plain. The Roman temple stands in the open at the top, its columns still upright, and the Gothic cathedral is heavier and cooler, granite from floor to roof. The Capela dos Ossos, lined entirely in bone, is the most sober stop.
