Directions

The Museum of Nativity and the Bone Chapel can be found on the grounds of the St. Francis Assisi Church campus. After visiting the Evora Cathedral, head straight towards Praca do Giraldo or Evora Square, where you can find plenty of cafes serving delicious meals. Our local tour guide, Ms. Maria, respectfully requested that we complete the tour first before exploring the square and the market. To get to St. Francis Assisi Church, take a left onto Alcorcova de Cima, and you will find the public market just across from the church.
