Today, the Évora Museum is a baroque building with an austere appearance, with a rectangular plan and a robust cushioned stonework portal.

It is located on the site of the original Gothic episcopal seat, which Archbishop D. Teotónio de Bragança altered from 1590 onwards and his successor, D. José de Melo, completed, placing his coat of arms (1611- 33) and in the upper rooms (which replaced an original hanging garden), with paneling made of armored tiles.

Description

Residential architecture, mannerist, plain. Former Archbishop's Palace of great robustness and constructive sobriety, with a quadrangular plan with a cloister in the center and masses arranged horizontally in the basement, ground floor, main floor and attic, with a clear hierarchical distinction between floors with facing, simple, balcony and facing windows, respectively. Elevations stripped of decorative details, with plinths, cornerstones, friezes and moldings in granite stonework, bringing this closer to other properties designed in the same period, namely the Old Palace of the Inquisition. Two-storey cloister with symmetrical elevations, topped with an eaves resting on a surrounding masonry ridge, with stone gargoyles in the corners; elevations divided into four panels by three stone pilasters, with an arcade on the lower floor with four depressed arches resting on stone pillars, with access to galleries, and four straight lintel windows with stone frames and wrought iron guards at the level from the top floor. Galleries with stone floors and barrel-vaulted roofs.
