Da der Marmor-Brunnen aus der Renaissancezeit stammt, wirkt er durch seine klassischen Formen sehr streng. Der Raubritter Giraldo befreite 1165 die Stadt von den Mauren, deshalb ist dieser Platz nach ihm benannt. Die Inquisition veranstaltete später hier grausame Prozesse und verbrannte Ketzer.

One of the main spots for tourism in Evora, the Giraldo Square is a meeting point for outsiders and locals. If you need free wi-fi, you can find a network here. Other than that, enjoy the remarkable architecture of the fountain and the church.

Great place to park and take tour of city. Is a walk from here to see Roman ruins and all major attractions in the town.

Beautiful fountain in main town square of Evora.

Beautiful square with wonderful tile work. Lots of wonderful people watching. Have a meal here and enjoy being a moment in time in such an historical place.

Centre of the town. Nice place to have a drink after walking the cobblestone streets.

Center of old Evora, and a lot of interesting buildings arround. Well worth to visit when you are in town. Do only avoid eating at the square as it is a tourist trap. To expensive and there are better quality nearby. If you have a numismatic interest pop in to Banco de Portugal filial , a building at the square to get the latest commemorative and collector coins. It is also makes a good souvenir.

Nice open square to have a meal or a drink, friendly staff in the cafeteria and bars , relaxing , great for socializing

Very lovely to visit. Amazing architecture and history.

Nice place!

Beautiful setting of buildings around the square including a church but the restaurants and cafes around not very satisfactory

Central landmark. Great padtry shop and grocery shop nearby.

Overcrowded with tourists but still very calm and a very beautiful city indeed

Beautiful central square with fountain, church, cages and lots of pedestrian space. Near everything!

Very nice place to visit

City center with bars and restaurants close by. Could have some animation or local products :(

The main square of the city; small shops around and cafés to rest and eat something. Recommended when visiting Evora!

A must go to know the heart of Évora, specially during summer time!

Place to have a drink in the summer with a view of the fountain.

Evora. A place to visit if you want a quiet and relaxed time

Quiet and clean. Beautiful place to take breakfast or lunch.

Pretty little square right in the heart of the city. Not much to look at during the day, but at night we were treated by a large number of tables where one could sit down and order delicious typical food and drinks from the nearby restaurants. This could’ve been related to the local summer festival that was going on all month, however. The choice of artists was a bit unfortunate - harsh hip-hop when the evening asked for jazz and acoustic guitars - but I can’t fault the location for this.

Beautiful historical buildings with good atmosphere surrounded by several wine bars and restaurants.
