Casa Rolão, Historic house in central Braga, Portugal.
Casa Rolão exhibits an 18th-century architectural design with straight lines, four ground-level doors, and matching windows on the noble floor.
Between 1758 and 1761, the Rolão family commissioned architect André Soares to construct this residence, financing it through their silk manufacturing business.
The building represents Portuguese civil architecture of the 1700s, combining Baroque and Rococo elements in its moldings and structural composition.
The structure, located at 118-124 Avenida Central, now functions as the Centésima Página bookstore, maintaining its cultural significance.
The facade incorporates Rocaille details in its moldings, reflecting the architectural transition period in Braga during the late 18th century.
