Our next stop was the cathedral of Santa Maria de Evora, built in the late 12th Century. It's a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles. We bought the ticket (just 4.50 Euros per person) for everything, although we never did find the church treasury.
The highlight wasn't the cloisters this time, it was the terrace. It's the first thing we did -- tight stairs up and up, leading to a tremendous view. The photos below are not in order. . .not quite sure what happened, but I'm not going to work to fix that!
The altar.
Not sure which queen this is, but I'm sure she's dead.

A weather beaten decoration
with the plains from Evora.
Very cool tower. Design looks
Gaudi-esque, which is the best
possible look.
The imposing front
