universidade de evora

Very quiet but interesting buildings. Also had a small coffee shop. Very close to the temple of Diana and the Pousada.

Evora university is the second oldest among all universities in Portugal. The local people recommended us to see the entrance and the cloister. Indeed, it is very impressive to see the blue ceramic tiles not just in the entrance but also all along the hallway. The cloister is also a focal point to take pictures.

Is university of COIMBRA is more famous,I think the university of EVORA seduce as building,but because that in front of each and every class it is mentioned the subject it makes you curios .In my opinion it looks like aristocracy university.

I enjoyed my visit to the university in Evora. As others have mentioned the beautiful blue tiles (azulejos) are a real highlight. There was a book about the tiles in the small gift shop, but it was too expensive unfortunately. The main entrance to the university is quite impressive. I wish, though, that I'd had a tour rather than just walking around aimlessly. I don't even know if there are tours, but it would help put things in perspective. I never did find the tile with Aristotle lecturing his students.Also, I had to keep in mind that this is a university and not a museum or historical ruin. I tried not to be too obtrusive in terms of the students everywhere. One small complaint: despite the fact that the students are all young, loads of them were smoking. I thought smoking was becoming more and more rare among young people. Anyway, smokers everywhere you turned.

This building used to be a Jesuit university in the 17th century. They were thrown out of the country and it is now in use as a university. All of the rooms have beautiful tiled walls.

The classrooms which have tiles specific to the subjects that were taught in each room are worth the trek to find them.

we enjoyed the sense of university life going to the main education building. what really stood out was that it was also 'hazing' time in the city square. anything so redolent of portuguese tradition is fascinating.

It is an unmatching asset to have the opportunity to attend classes in such a beauty. Teaching is beyond evaluation. You have to pinch your arms in order to believe that what you are living at the moment is reality ans not just a dream. When reaching the place please ask for a guided tour. If this is not available, please contact the Bureau of Tourism or the Histoty department in advance-

The 16th century tiles lining the entire walls of each classroom indicate the subject taught in that room centuries ago. Those interested in the academy will find this fascinating, others will just see more lovely tiles.

What fun to see the seniors decked up in capes like Harry Potter characters on their first day back for the new semester. That gave the ancient institution a today-feel, as did the number of parents attending their student's registration. Computers amidst the tiled walls...

The university is at the top of the city.you can enjoy the view of the near by places.It´s very well developed with old architecture.It has nice courtyard and a fountain.the class rooms inside are good and the tiles are designed very well.

Back in time, it's a magnificent place to visit, very calm and beautifully Azulejos which are worth seeingIf you are a little tired from busy places certainly a good moment to enjoye

There are so many beautiful buildings to see in Portugal and maybe I was expecting too much but the main part is mostly a large courtyard area with classrooms off the side. The rooms do have different tiles and there is an explanation outside but I thought the grounds and other buildings outside needed maintenance.

The university is tiny - but the view from the inside of it is stunning. There is a nice courtyard with oranges as well, but it's secondary: it is all about the view...

I love to take my travelers to the university of Evora. Lovely building, nice cloister, full of the famous tiles (Azulejus). I fail to understand - How can you study in such a beauty?
