Évora public garden is a magnificent space, for its diverse flora and for its romantic atmosphere that can be felt anywhere within its borders. We can admire the spectrum of colours during the year. There is also presence of fauna, mainly peacocks, gooses and ducks making this place a very comfortable and calm spot to relax and enjoy nature.
The garden is a place filled with history, where we can find several monuments of cultural importance, such as the remains of the medieval walls (XIV century), the Palace of D. Manuel I (XVI century), the fake ruins established in the XVIII century to emphasize its romantism and the bandstand.
The palace was built under the rule of D. Afonso V. It was the residence of many Portuguese kings.
At that time, it was one of the most remarkable buildings, with very important rooms, such as the main hall, the queen’s room and the library. Currently, the only thing left of the palace is the dame’s gallery, which represents the manuelino style with contrasts from the renaissance. Besides of being one of the biggest architectural masterpiece of our country with a very historical importance.

Why the city of Safranbolu inscribed on the world heritage list? Write down the criteria(on) used by UNESCO.
The Safranbolu’s traditional houses are known for their architecture. The stone-built ground floors of Safranbolu houses, most of which are two or three storey mansions, generally follow the natural gradient of the street.
Although the houses are built on small, oddly shaped lots, thanks to this building technique the upper level rooms are nevertheless rectangular and spacious.
Another aspect of these houses’ technique is that the axis can be rotated slightly on the upper stories according to need or exposure to the sun.

Our idea to improve the Évora garden and make it more attractive to tourists and local population is to promote the concerts in the bandstand, drama at the Palace, book fairs and social events – meetings and photography contests.
In Safranbolu’s case, we think that is important to preserve and improve the traditional houses and their history for the tourists and make the surrounding spaces more dynamic.
