Built in the 18th century, this house in the Baroque style with Rococo touches was an urban residence of a bourgeois family, standing out for its use of granite and artistic details.
The facade, in worked granite, has a wrought iron balcony and is decorated with sculptures, including a central image of the Archangel Saint Michael.
On the first floor, there is a room with a wooden ceiling and a granite fountain, highlighting the decorative style of the time.
In 1905, the building served as the city's first hospital, gaining a significant role in local history.
The house is located on Rua do Padrão, in a historic area of Valongo, close to buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries.
