OBRAS is dedicated to culture and nature.

We offer all space, support and tranquillity to artists, scientists and other guests for a better quality of life. It is our experience that you will convert this fast and easily in reflection, inspiration and energy.

The home of OBRAS is on the Herdade da Marmeleira.

Near to Évora, one of the most historical and picturesque towns in Portugal, in the centre of the lovely province of Alentejo, you can find a two hundred years old quinta (farmhouse), named Herdade da Marmeleira.

This carefully renovated mansion is located on top of a hill and overlooks a magnificent, rolling landscape that changes its colours with the seasons.

OBRAS welcomes individual tourists who seek tranquillity and space, and who are attracted by nature and culture.

OBRAS organizes several kinds of workshops. In addition it can organize individual activities ranging from an introduction in marble sculpting until a walk along pre-historical relicts.

OBRAS also welcomes and facilitates professional artists and scientists. For more detail see the page "artists in residence" on this site.
