Palácio dos Condes de Avillez
The façade of this building follows two different lines, one with several windows and doors around a central vertical body, and the other with several windows with iron grates. The back of the building was turned into a leisure and spiritual refuge area with three interesting architectural features: a small Swiss chalet (The Tea House), a revivalist and eclectic chapel and an interesting traingualar building, named the Hothouse.
