The classrooms which have tiles specific to the subjects that were taught in each room are worth the trek to find them.
What fun to see the seniors decked up in capes like Harry Potter characters on their first day back for the new semester. That gave the ancient institution a today-feel, as did the number of parents attending their student's registration. Computers amidst the tiled walls...
Is university of COIMBRA is more famous,I think the university of EVORA seduce as building,but because that in front of each and every class it is mentioned the subject it makes you curios .In my opinion it looks like aristocracy university.
It is an unmatching asset to have the opportunity to attend classes in such a beauty. Teaching is beyond evaluation. You have to pinch your arms in order to believe that what you are living at the moment is reality ans not just a dream. When reaching the place please ask for a guided tour. If this is not available, please contact the Bureau of Tourism or the Histoty department in advance-
The 16th century tiles lining the entire walls of each classroom indicate the subject taught in that room centuries ago. Those interested in the academy will find this fascinating, others will just see more lovely tiles.
This building used to be a Jesuit university in the 17th century. They were thrown out of the country and it is now in use as a university. All of the rooms have beautiful tiled walls.
we enjoyed the sense of university life going to the main education building. what really stood out was that it was also 'hazing' time in the city square. anything so redolent of portuguese tradition is fascinating.
I love to take my travelers to the university of Evora. Lovely building, nice cloister, full of the famous tiles (Azulejus). I fail to understand - How can you study in such a beauty?
Evora university is the second oldest among all universities in Portugal. The local people recommended us to see the entrance and the cloister. Indeed, it is very impressive to see the blue ceramic tiles not just in the entrance but also all along the hallway. The cloister is also a focal point to take pictures.
The university is tiny - but the view from the inside of it is stunning. There is a nice courtyard with oranges as well, but it's secondary: it is all about the view...
