Batalha

Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, commonly known as Batalha Monastery (due to the name of its location), is considered one of the symbols of Portugal, particularly in the centre of the country, andis one of the most visited monuments in the country.
It was commissioned by King João I to express gratitude for the victory in Aljubarrota Battle in the 14th century. This emblematic work took 150 years to complete, experiencing several phases of construction and incorporating different artistic styles, such as Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance. Soon after the beginning of its construction, the king donated the building to the Dominican Order, that maintained it until its extinction, in the 19th century.
Santa Maria da Vitória Monastery is listed as a World Heritage Site since 1983.

Testimonials

We organized a prestigious two-week residential School for postgraduate students using the Évora Hotel’s conference facilities and full-board accommodation. The good conference facilities, comfortable accommodation, and leisure facilities of the hotel were much appreciated by the participants. The managers of the hotel were extremely helpful and responsive to our numerous requests, and we enjoyed working with them.

Évora Hotel has proved to be an excellent choice for ENEG 2017. I highlight the privileged location, the versatility of spaces and the Évora Hotel team. These factors contributed significantly to the event's success. The professionalism and dedication of the entire team are reference models.
