A walled museum city on the Alentejo plain that never stopped being lived in, stacking Roman, medieval, and Renaissance Portugal on one hill where a two-thousand-year-old Roman temple still stands. Home to a chapel built from the bones of thousands and a Renaissance aqueduct that walks the water into town, its arches filled with people's houses. A UNESCO World Heritage centre.
