Temple of Diana and Se de Evora - More appropriately called simple 'Roman Temple of Evora' (Evora is the city in which it's located), it's often referred to as the Temple of Diana because of a rumor started by a priest in the 17th century. It was built in the first century in honor of Emporor Augustus and remains as a testament to Portugals Roman history. It's last use was actuall as a local butcher shop from the 14th century until 1836.
