The paving of the square in front of the monument is really well integrated.

Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel was built in the 19th century by Father José Pinto de Moura and consecrated in 1899. At the time of its construction, religious orders were prohibited in Portugal. Nevertheless, it was later handed over to the Franciscans in 1921. In 1926, as part of the political changes (including the New State, etc.), a Franciscan convent was established there.

The architectural style is described as eclectic (a blend of different styles). The church has an elongated floor plan with a main nave, a main chapel, and a sacristy. Inside, there are several religious images, including works by students of the sculptor Teixeira Lopes. The chapel is located at Rua dos Bragas 321, Porto.

The chapel belongs to the Franciscan convent "Convento Franciscano de Nossa Senhora dos Anjos." It is known for the practice of perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (“adoração perpétua do Santíssimo Sacramento”), meaning it offers a place where the Eucharist is venerated around the clock. The day of the “Porciúncula,” a Franciscan celebration in honor of Santa Maria dos Anjos, is particularly celebrated here. This celebration has its roots in the tradition of granting plenary absolution/indulgence on August 1st and 2nd.

Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Small, unspectacular church, which nevertheless stands out between the houses. If you don't get lost there by accident, a flying visit doesn't necessarily have to be.

Spring of the Olive Trees

Highlight • Structure

Also known as Fonte da Rua das Oliveiras, it replaced an 18th century fountain. It was supplied by the Salgueiros Spring and on the elevation of the building that houses it is the "Entrada das Oliverias", which provides access to the tunnel shared by the Paranhos and Salgueiros springs, which then continued to Praça de Carlos Alberto, feeding two fountains, including the Drinking Fountain of the Animal Protection Society preserved in the Parque das Águas.

Carlos Alberto Square

Highlight • Monument

For centuries the square was named after the horseshoe smiths (ferradores) who were concentrated in this part of the city. On its east side, the Palácio dos Viscondes de Balsemão was built in the 18th century. After renovation, the building served as a hostel. Later King Charles Albert of Sardinia lived there, who came to Porto in exile in 1849. The Largo dos Ferradores was given its current name in his honor.
