Worth the visit to Elvas.

Elvas is a lovely small city - not crowded at this time of year - nice architecture and pleasant vibe. However, for us, the Roman aqueduct was the stand out attraction as it dominated the entrance to the city and was very unique as to...More

Stiking piece of architecture

Right on the edge of the walled town, this aquaduct stands up to four arches tall, dominating the skyline as you arrive at Elvas. Worth a look although obviously you can't walk on it. Check out the end near the town and you can see...More

Huge and impressive

We came in from the other side of town so didn't see the aquaduct until we were walking around. It is lovely sight and you get some great camera angles of it.

best sunset in Alentejo

You can’t miss it

I don’t mean “don’t miss this” I mean you you can’t miss it unless you arrive from the east and depart from the east. The best view without a doubt is from the old road in from Lisbon. It’s not incredible for its engineering as...More
