    • Garden Duque de Bragança (19th century): Find tranquility amidst the lush greenery and colorful blooms of the Garden Duque de Bragança. This romantic garden boasts a network of pathways, grottos, and fountains, offering a peaceful escape from the city bustle.

Capture stunning photos and appreciate the city's layout, with its central praça (square) and radiating streets.
    • Misericórdia Church (16th century): Explore the beautiful Misericórdia Church, known for its intricate stone carvings and historical significance. This church once served the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, a charitable brotherhood that provided aid to the poor and sick. Notice the Manueline-style portal and the peaceful interior adorned with religious art.
    • Duque de Bragança Farmers Market Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Duque de Bragança Farmers Market, a bustling hub of local life.
