    Learn how an old Town Hall functioned, what a Judge of the Court was, what they did, where and how municipal meetings were held, and the famous signatures in cross form.

    Continue up Rua do Espírito Santo and hear about the balconies of the Governor's House. In Largo do Espírito Santo, learn about the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, its works, its hospital, its functions, and its church.

    On Rua do Castelo, discover an architectural style that only exists in Portugal: the Manueline style. Stop and find out why the train station is so far away.
