Homenagem as vitimas da Inquisicao em Portugal

The institution of the Inquisition in Portugal dates from 1536 and lasted for almost 300 years in Portugal. It was largely responsible for the decline of the first global empire in the world that Portugal had maintained during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Inquisition was responsible for the death of many innocent victims and the greatest symbol of intolerance and religious extremism in the history of Portugal. It was in Praça do Giraldo that most of the victims were burned alive in the horrible acts of faith. The court of the inquisition of Évora was the deadliest of the 4 courts that existed in Portugal of this tenebrous institution.

Pateo de Sao Miguel

One of the most beautiful places in Évora and little visited by tourists, perhaps because it is a little hidden. Ancient alcove, it was the most fortified place in the old city, home of the city governor and a privileged place for the old kings to stay whenever they were in Évora. Place of origin of the old religious and military order of the Knights of Évora that later originated the Order of Avis, which started the second dynasty of Portuguese kings and perhaps the most brilliant of all. A must for art history lovers.
