Having already celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2021, Rua das Flores is undoubtedly one of the country\u2019s oldest streets. Always associated with elites, it was one of the first to be designed according to its own urban planning rules. “One side had the nobles\u2019 palaces, which caught the morning sun, while the other belonged to the bourgeoisie”, says Nuno Godinho, manager of the pousada<\/a>, which is located at number 94. On the bourgeois side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Close by is the Miseric\u00f3rdia do Porto Museum, which organised an exhibition of the street\u2019s history, highlighting that the pousada building was originally called Casa dos Brand\u00f5es, an 18th-century construction that housed various commercial activities before opening as a pousada in October 2021. “During the refurbishment, we kept as many of the original elements as possible and emphasised everything that was stone”, says Godinho, drawing attention to the restaurant arches, the granite staircase leading to the breakfast buffet, and the doorframes of some of the 84 rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\n\n\t\t
