The Roman Temple of Évora, erroneously known as the "Temple of Diana", is located on top of the city's acropolis, surrounded by the Frei Manuel do Cenáculo National Museum, the Évora Public Library, the Duques de Cadaval Palace and Arts and Culture Center of the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation, and also a few meters from the Évora Cathedral. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910 and is one of the city's icons and one of the most significant symbols of the Roman presence in Portuguese territory. It began its construction in the time of Augustus, in the first century d. C., but the works have continued over the two following centuries.
