Évora - Sé Catedral de Nossa Senhora da Assunção
The Romans conquered the place in 57 BC. BC and expanded it into a walled city. The city gained importance because it was at the intersection of several important transport routes.
During the barbarian invasions, Évora came under the rule of the Visigothic king Leovigild in 584.
In 715, the city was conquered by the Moors. During the Moorish rule (715–1165), the town slowly began to prosper again and developed into an agricultural center with a fortress and a mosque.
Évora was wrested from the Moors through an attack by Geraldo Sem Pavor ("Gerald the Fearless") in 1165. The town came under the rule of the Portuguese king Afonso I in 1166. It then flourished during the Middle Ages, especially in the 15th century.
Construction of a cathedral began in 1186. The consecration took place already in 1204. The building has Romanesque and Gothic features. The pointed barrels over the central nave and transept and the pointed arched cross vaults of the side aisles correspond to the pattern of Cluny III and Paray-le-Monial. The tracery above the main portal is High Gothic. Between 1317 and 1340 the cloister was added in the Gothic style. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the choir, pulpit, baptistery and the chapel of Our Lady of Mercy followed in Manueline style. The main chapel was replaced in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century.
The cathedral has a cruciform floor plan and is 70 meters long. This is the largest cathedral in Portugal.
The cathedral's cloister was built between 1317 and 1340 in the Gothic style
