What To Expect
Fonte dos Leoes
Our meeting point - look for the guide with the Touché Tours badge. This square is named after a famous mathematician, but it is the lions of its fountain that have made it famous. Legend has it this fountain was a source of inspiration for JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter.
Igreja dos Carmelitas
They stand side by side, separated by a narrow house. The Carmo and Carmelitas churches seem to be one, but they have very different stories. Between these two churches lies the narrowest building in the city, which gives access to the bell tower. However, to get there, it is necessary to climb three floors and go over the dome of the Carmelite church.
