Description
Hidden for many centuries, this medieval noble House, possibly the residency of a wealthy bourgeois, was discovered in 1940 during the construction of the Terreiro da Sé. It was rebuilt about 15 meters from its original placement by Rogério de Azevedo, who added some neo-gothic elements to it, like the lancet arch or the stone balcony. Functioning today as a Tourist Office, the building can be visited as a counterpoint to the Tower of the 24, which has had a contemporary reinterpretation.
