Photo taken on Dec. 28, 2013 shows the Sao Francisco Convent in Evora, Portugal. This museum-city, whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th century, when it became the residence of the Portuguese kings. Its monuments had a profound influence on Portuguese architecture in Brazil. In 1986, UNESCO declared the Historic Centre of Evora a UNESCO World Heritage Site.(Xinhua/Zhang Liyun)
