2023 - Portugal - 452 - Évora - 98 of 102 - Praça do Giraldo

            We are leaving Évora and passing through Praça do Giraldo (Giraldo Square), the main public plaza in the city.

Giraldo Square pays tribute to Fearless Geraldo Geraldes, the man who conquered Evora from the Moors in 1167. 

To thank him King Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, nominated him Governor of Evora (alcaide of Evora) and High Protector of the Borders of Alentejo, region which he helped to conquer.

The church at the end of the square is Igreja de Santo Antão (Santo Antão Church).

The church was built in the 16th century in accordance with the designs of the royal architects, Miguel de Arruda, Manuel Pires and Afonso Álvares.

Flanked by two bell towers and three Mannerist portals, it served as a model for other churches in the Alentejo region built at the time.
