Évora - Praça do Giraldo 
|
|
A couple of hundred yards to the northeast of the Igreja das Mercês, in the center of Évora, is the elongated Praça do Giraldo, the picturesque square that was once a place of execution where many victims of the Inquisition went to the stake. Its street cafés provide a good opportunity to appreciate the scenic effect of the beautiful houses and arcades surrounding the square.
