Portugal - Évora

Évora  is a city and a municipality in Portugal. Évora (altitude 300 m) is situated in Alentejo, a large region of wide plains on the south of Portugal, borderd on the North by the Tagus River and on the South by the region of Algarve.
The Igreja de São Francisco (Church of St. Francis) is located in Évora, Portugal. It is best known for its lugubrious Chapel of the Bones.
This huge church was built in Gothic style (with some Manueline influences) between 1475 and the 1550s to the design of Martim Lourenço, replacing an earlierRomanesque church of 1226. This church is one of a kind through its narthex with arcades in front of the church. The arcade is formed by seven arches with different forms (semicircular, pointed or horseshoe arches), a typical blend of Gothic and Moorish elements.
