House Number 1

Sortelha

Its construction presumably dates from the 13th century, as it belonged to the Ferreira Ferraz family, former mayors of Sortelha. Although the building does not have any proven medieval elements, apart from a small window opening, its construction could possibly date back to the 16th/17th centuries. It has traditional and classical influences. It has an exterior staircase, adjacent to the adjoining house and openings with straight lintels, with only one window having a smooth, protruding frame. The building's name comes from an inscription on one of the doors on the ground floor.
