Castelo Novo

Richly appointed Baroque house, evidencing construction typical of the 18th century. The house is large and its structure centres around an open patio with a chapel. It is divided into two and three storeys, with the elevations circumscribed by pilastered corners and some of the walls being trimmed with a cornice. The openings are rectilinear profile and framed in granite. The chapel has a choir loft and gilded carved altar piece.
