From the same place of the previous post but looking at the opposite side of the Theatre we find D. Antão de Almada street, parallel to Rossio. On the right side you can see the famous Ginginha and on the left the door of São Domingos Church with almost eight centuries of existence. The earthquake of 1755 shook not this monument, but in return the fire of 1959 destroyed most of what was beautiful. The place has always homeless "residents", some accompanied by their dogs.

The building of the previous post is for sale. To answer to the question raised by destitute rebel I will phone tomorrow and ask the year of his construction ... And now the price. I am not expert on history but I think that these buildings were all built after the 1755 earthquake that almost destroyed Lisbon.
This is a residential building with a restaurant on the ground floor with the prices that averaged 5 euros, however there are cheaper restaurants in this area.
