Brief Description

"This museum-city, whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th century, when it became the residence of the Portuguese kings. Its unique quality stems from the whitewashed houses decorated with azulejos and wrought-iron balconies dating from the 16th to the 18th century. Its monuments had a profound influence on Portuguese architecture in Brazil."

埃武拉历史中心
"埃武拉这座“博物馆之城”的历史可以追溯到罗马时期，公元 15世纪，葡萄牙的国王们选择在这里居住，使得埃武拉城发展到了它的鼎盛时代。埃武拉城与众不同的风格在于城中那些装饰有上光花砖的白色房屋和16世纪至 18世纪建造的锻铁阳台。城中的古迹对于巴西的葡萄牙建筑有着深远的影响。"
