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.
The "Praça do Giraldo" is the center of the city. The name of the "Giraldo Square" refers to "Gerald the Fearless". In the back is the "Iglesia de San Antonio Abad".
