Introduction
Praça do Giraldo is the heart of Évora's old town, a stage for markets, festivals and trials since the Middle Ages — the Inquisition once raised its stake here. Arcaded whitewashed buildings frame the square, and a Renaissance fountain at its centre once supplied the city's water. Today it is the best starting point for coffee, people-watching and wandering the UNESCO-listed town.
