CHURCH
(Praça 1 de Maio)
Évora's best-known church is a tall and huge Manueline-Gothic
structure, completed around 1510 and dedicated to St Francis. Exuberant nautical motifs
celebrating the Age of Discoveries deck the walls and reflect the confident, booming
mood of the time. It's all topped by a cross of Christ's order and dome. Legend has it that
the Portuguese navigator Gil Vicente is buried here.
