Casa dos Maias, Historic townhouse in Morro da Vitoria, Portugal.

Casa dos Maias spans two floors with eight iron-grated windows across its principal facade, featuring a U-shaped architectural design along Rua das Flores.

The building, dating from the 16th century, gained prominence when Domingos Oliveira Maia's family acquired it during the rise of Porto's merchant class.

The property represents the architectural evolution of Porto's noble residences, combining commercial spaces on the ground floor with residential areas above.

Visitors can reach the main floor through a wide granite staircase that leads to multiple chambers arranged around a central courtyard.

An octagonal chapel, designed by architect Nicolau Nasoni in the 18th century, stands in the backyard, adding religious significance to this residential structure.

Location: Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória
