Avenue of Liberdade

The Avenida da Liberdade is a central street that can be found in Barcelos, situated close to Largo Porta Nova. It starts just behind the Church of Bom Jesus de la Cruz, and ends at the Plaza of October 5 (Field 5 Outubro), just opposite the Palace of Beça Meneses. Facing the avenue is the fairground (Campo da Fair). It's a good place to have a stroll while looking at the architecture and tiled facades, or sit in a cafe for a drink. At one end of the avenue is the Volunteer Firefighter Memorial, and a milestone with the shield of the city.
