Lisboa, Lisbon 1100-312

Reference: VKVH-T3203. 1 bedroom flat with 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms and kitchen, with a lot of potential to live or create your own direct access studio, in Largo dos Loios. Location in a historic area, in a building of Pombaline architecture, renovated property keeping some period materials, which give it cachet. Long square, embellished by leafy trees and where some houses are located, large and beautiful and with few floors, which arouse our curiosity and desire to inhabit them. When the windows are open and the curtains flutter in the wind, they give a glimpse of ceilings decorated in stucco with imbricated flourishes. These are details of other times, when detail, delicacy and ornament were the hallmark of rich houses. This square heard for many years the sound of military boots that crossed it repeatedly. First the 5th Company of the Municipal Guard and then the National Republican Guard that was headquartered here occupying the space of the old Convent that had the same designation, Lios, a religious building born there in the distant century. XIII. The convent, founded by the 10th bishop of Lisbon, D. Domingos Jardo, took the name of Saint Eloi and later welcomed the secular canons of Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Clement. A convent that from small became large and dominated the entire hill. Throughout his life he suffered many fires, but he was always rebuilt by the will of men and divine prayers. With the earthquake the convent was once again torn down, and its rubble remains there under our feet, more than 7 meters of rubble that rest on the ground, burying the prayers and desires of so many men. We continued our way and turned left, to a small street that you can hardly notice it. Energy Rating: C #ref:HT_40960_1
