    Páteo 13

    Citorah says The draw is a vine-shaded courtyard wedged behind the church of Santo Estêvão: on a fine evening, ask for a table outside.

    Sé Cathedral

    Citorah says The Sé Cathedral sits at its western edge; Castelo de São Jorge at its top; Fado houses (the city's traditional mournful music) are scattered through it.
