CASA DOS CARVALHOS | HISTORICAL BUILDING SURVEY

This work presents the results of the architectural survey of Casa dos Carvalhos or Casa Mota-Prego, done in my third year as an architecture student at University of Minho.

Casa dos Carvalhos is located in the former Terreiro da Misericórdia – now Largo da Misericórdia – in the city of Guimarães, in Portugal. It is an example that stands out of the surrounding buildings by its presence and over the years had as inhabitants prominent figures in the society. Nowadays, it gives place to the Histórico by Papaboa Restaurant.
