Casa Cesária Évora
The Mindelo home of Cesária Évora, the “Barefoot Diva,” is now a memorial museum displaying her trophies, stage costumes and photographs.
Cesária Évora (1941–2011) became world-famous for singing morna and won a Grammy Award. Her house is in central Mindelo and displays her records, awards, stage outfits and personal belongings, and plays footage of her performances. Her grave is in the southern cemetery, where fans often come to leave flowers. Opening hours are irregular, so check with the tourist office first.
