Paços de Évora, Royal palace remains in Évora, Portugal.

The palace features a Manueline porch, Mudejar-style loggia, and Renaissance windows within the Public Garden of Évora.

Built around 1468 by King Afonso V, the structure expanded from parts of São Francisco Convent to house Portugal's first royal library.

The Gallery of Ladies, the sole surviving section, hosted theatrical performances including six plays by Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente.

The palace opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission and limited wheelchair accessibility.

In 1490, a temporary wooden palace extension accommodated the wedding celebration of Prince Afonso with Princess Isabel of Castile.
