- Title
La reconstrucción de una ciudad: la restauración del Templo de Diana de Evora.

- Abstract
This article reflect a key issue about the symbolic elaboration of a museum-city of Évora, actually a World Heritage City. After the restoration of the Temple of Diana in the XIX century, the people from Évora perceived visually and cognitively the Roman origin of their city. The monument, in the top of the city hill, restructured the whole city and made up its latter image. An image which did identify the city, as its exlibris, and impress its history. After a turbulent process, the cultivated defenders of the temple would propitiate other further initiatives and build up a pioneer and pervasive effort for protection and defense of the city.
