Solar da Condessa de São João das Areias / Paço Episcopal da Guarda
In this solar from the XVII century we have to stand out the existence of a distinct body integrated on the building and parallel to the frontage with open balconies supported by classic columns with a Coat of Arms on the entrance. The sixteen hundreds elements have to be mentioned, such as the porch with columns with simple capital and architrave decorated with triglyph, a door with a straight arch topped by a disrupted pediment decorated with volutes and cannon gargoyles.
