Arco da Porta Nova

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:43:59

West of the old centre on Rua Dom Diogo de Sousa, this diminutive but elegant 18th-century ‘arch of the new gate’ once served as the city’s main entrance. It displays the ostentatious coat of arms of the archbishop who commissioned it, Dom José de Bragança.
