Largo de São Domingos
Roads and squares
Formerly known as Terreiro or Praça de S. Domingos, it was urbanised around 1320.
Due to its strategic position at the confluence of major arteries connecting the riverside to the high part of the city, throughout the centuries it underwent important conservation and maintenance works, especially the project by John Whitehead in 1774, conducted by the Board of Public Works and financed by wine taxes.
