Home of the Beça Meneses

One of the loveliest civic buildings in Barcelos is the House of Beça (or Bessa) Meneses, at the end of Avenida De la Libertad. It was constructed in the 18th century and has two levels which showcase its facade, made of granite around the many windows, with shells and plumes. There is a large coat of arms on the center window, and the gorgeous wrought iron railings in curve around the windows of the lower floor.
