Praça do Giraldo, Central square in Évora, Portugal.
The square contains an ornate baroque fountain with eight spouts representing the main streets that lead to this central location point.
The square commemorates Geraldo Geraldes, who captured Évora from Moorish control in 1167 and became the first governor of the city.
The Santo Antão Church, constructed from 1557, presents a marble high altar dedicated to the Apostolate from a previous religious structure.
The Tourist Office located under the arcades provides information while numerous shops, cafes, and traditional businesses occupy the surrounding buildings.
The square features traditional Portuguese pavement patterns and contains a fountain crowned with a design inspired by Philip III of Spain in 1619.
