The organ of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Évora, a masterpiece of design by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, benefits from the wonderful acoustics of the building. The quality of its workmanship and the care with which it has been maintained has meant that countless generations of worshippers and visitors to the church have been treated to the remarkable sounds of the organ. Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811–1899), an organ maker who constructed more than 500 instruments, was renowned in his lifetime as a leading craftsman, best recognized for his organs in the Church of Saint Sulpice in Paris, the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, and the Basilica of Saint Sernin in Toulouse.
