Opened in 1559, the Colegio do Espírito Santo School is the main building of the Universidade de Évora (University of Évora). It transformed the city into an intellectual and religious Jesuit-in-style centre.

It is located outside the city walls, in the north.

Inside it is recommended to see its Italian-Renaissance-in-style monumental cloister with two colonnade floors, the Mannerist Temple of Espírito Santo, and its classrooms adorned with wonderful Baroque-in-Style panels of tiles.
