You'll Trip Right Over History If You Don't Watch Where You're Going
In Portugal, history is everywhere. It is, in fact, literally just below your feet in many spots.
The site was used by the Romans as a center for preserving fish, salt was evaporated from sea water and then used to cure fish for long storage. The resulting ponds where the water was stored later provided fresh water for a medieval well. The site also later served as an early Christian burial chamber.
The basement of the bank is now home to Núcleo Arqueológico da Rua dos Correeiros. Tours must be arranged in advance, but they're free!
