Largo Barão Quintela
Fifty meters south of Camoens Square is a small green square named after Joaquim Pedro Quintela (1748-1817), a member of the Council of Queen Mary I and the owner of a monopoly on the tobacco trade.

In the center of the square, a monument to the poet Eça de Queirós (1845-1900) was unveiled in 1903. The sculptor António Teixeira Lopes, inspired by the words of the romantic poet" on the nakedness of truth to the transparent shell of imagination " (Sobre a nudez da Verdade o manto diafano da Fantasia) in the form of an allegory-"naked truth", depicted his wife Keixera.

I didn't see the Quintela Palace itself because it was in shadow, but from the front of the palace I could see the view of the Rua do Alecrim, which descends to the river.

In the palace building, to the right of the main portal, an antique shop caught my attention.
