Arco do Teles

The Arco do Teles is an arch which used to be part of three luxury homes. The whole complex was built in 1755 and most of it was destroyed by fire in 1790
Behind the arch is a picturesque alley (Travessa do Comercio) with buildings dating from the 19th century.

In the evenings (from 5pm) onwards it becomes a great big outdoor happy hour where office workers gather for a few chopp (local beer) and a chat before heading home.
