Organ


General view (organ)

 

 

Located on the level with the Upper Choir, there is a pipe organ in oakwood.

 

It is and instrument from the 16th century in the so-called Iberian model, very rare and unique in Portugal.

 

It is clearly a sign of the relevance of the music at the service of the liturgy, which was celebrated daily with solemnity by the chapter delegates.

 

In their passage through Évora, four Christian princes which represented the first japanese embassy that came to Rome to visit the Pope, they felt very honoured for having played here.
