Roman Temple of Évora →
Erected in the 1st century AD in the heart of ancient Liberalitas Iulia, the Roman Temple of Évora stands as the best-preserved Hispano-Roman architectural monument on the Iberian Peninsula. Erroneously attributed for centuries to the goddess Diana, this majestic granite podium crowned by fourteen Corinthian columns of Estremoz marble embodies the fervor of the imperial cult dedicated to Emperor Augustus. Located at the highest point of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the monument miraculously survived invasions, sieges, and unusual medieval uses, becoming an enduring symbol of the classical grandeur that once shaped Lusitania.
