Évora Ticket - Monumento

The former Convento do Salvador was consecrated on July 24, 1610, and given to Poor Clare nuns. The church is a beautiful Baroque example, perfectly aligned with the Gesamtkunstwerk concept – the total artwork, in which all the arts contribute to the creation of unique environments in the exaltation of Christian spirituality. In the late 19^th century, the convent closed, following the extinction of the religious orders in Portugal. It served then as the artillery headquarters until its demolition in the 1940s. The church, the watch-out tower and part of the cloister were preserved from destruction.
