Casa de Camões / Casa dos Arcos / Casa-Memória Camões
16th century construction, with brick arches, where, according to tradition, Luís Vaz de Camões lived during his visit to the town. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was profoundly altered, highlighting the very thick load-bearing walls made of plastered stone and brick masonry and the foundations of the corbel that supported the already demolished five-span round archway. The ruins of the old Manueline door, a 16th century door with a straight lintel and a beveled brick window with a boarded-up curved lintel, are also visible.
