Painel S. Francisco e Pedras de Armas

Opposite the monastery of San Antonio, there is a small triangular square near a section of the old wall decorated with a bas-relief of St. Francis. The sculptural panel was made by an unknown artist in the 17th century and decorated the facade of the city hall, which was located on Praça Rodrigues Lobo. It seems that the side medallions have a different origin - they depict a multi-faceted two-tiered tower, which does not look at all like the castle from the coat of arms of the city.
