The Cathedral of Évora is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Évora, Portugal. It is one of the oldest and most important local monuments, lying on the highest spot of the city. It is part of the historical city centre, and the seat of the Archdiocese of Evora.
Évora was definitively reconquered from Arab hands in 1166 by Geraldo Sem Pavor , and soon afterwards the new Christian rulers of the city began to build a cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This first building, built between 1184 and 1204, was very modest and was enlarged circa 1280-1340, this time in early Gothic style. The cathedral received several valuable additions through time, such as the Gothic cloisters , the Manueline chapel of the Esporão and a new, magnificent main chapel in baroque style . It is the largest of the mediaeval cathedrals in Portugal, and one of its best examples of Gothic architecture.
