North of the cathedral along Rua Silva Gaio is the longest remaining stretch of the old town wall . To the east, across Avenida Emídio Navarro, is another old town gate, the Porta dos Cavaleiros .
South of the cathedral beneath the Passeio dos Cônegos (Curates Walk, on part of the old wall) is Praça de Dom Duarte , named after the Portuguese monarch born in Viseu. Several noble mansions adorn the square.
Southward is Casa de Dom Duarte , a house with a beautiful Manueline window and traditionally regarded as the king’s birthplace.
Rua Augusto Hilário runs southeast through the former judiaria (14th-to-16th-century Jewish quarter). Rua Direita , Viseu’s most appealing street and once the most direct route to the hilltop, is a lively melee of shops, souvenir stands, restaurants and old town houses.
