Medieval Cobblestone

Sortelha

Sortelha

The medieval walkway preserved from the New Gate, on the outside of the walls, crosses the complex which includes the Old Hospital and Church of Mercy, passing through the Chapel of Santiago, extending over a section approximately 300 m long and 5 m wide . The paving of this section was carried out with regular granite stones and probably similar to those identified along Rua Direita.
