Évora Ticket - Monumento

The Palácio do Vimioso is a remarkable 16^th-century building which was built for the residence of Bishop D. Afonso de Portugal (1485–1522) and his descendants, the counts of Vimioso. It has undergone major changes over time, notably the demolitions of the 19^th century and the works carried out in the late 20^th century, which adapted it to the new use as a branch of the University of Évora. In the west wing of the palace, the former stall and stables, is now located the Department of Archaeology and the Interactive Centre of Archaeology, a privileged place in relation to the main courtyard of the palace, next to the Cathedral of Évora.
