About

The University of Évora is a public university in Évora, Portugal. It is the second-oldest university in the country, established in 1559 by the cardinal Henry, and it received University status in April of the same year from Pope Paul IV, as documented in his Cum a nobis papal bull. Running under the aegis of the Society of Jesus meant that the university was a target of the Marquis of Pombal's Jesuit oppression, being closed down permanently in 1779 and its masters either incarcerated or exiled.
