Evoramonte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Évora Monte)
Evoramonte (formerly also spelled "Évora Monte" or "Évoramonte") is a civil parish in the municipality of Estremoz in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
It is the site of a castle founded in 1160. The town was also the site of the signing on 26 May 1834 of the peace treaty/armistice known as the "Concession [or Convention] of Évora Monte", which ended the civil war between Dom Pedro IV and Dom Miguel; as a result Dom Miguel went into exile.[1]
The municipality of Évora Monte was extinguished in the reforms of 1855, and its territory partitioned among the neighbouring municipalities of Estremoz, Évora, Arraiolos, and Redondo.
