At Pedro Nunes Square, Alcácer do Sal. This 16th century building was originally the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. In the 17th century works were carried out to turn it into the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, concluded in the 18th century. In the 19th century the Municipal Museum was installed there, as the rooms of the City Hall it occupied till then became unsufficient.

A sharp curve of River Sado creates the illusion of a photo from the river. In fact I took this shot from João Soares Branco Avenue, on the same riverside you can see on your left.

These boats were once used to transport salt of Alcácer do Sal downstream River Sado till Setúbal. When road transport became a better option such boats disappeared, except these two, now used in tours and equipped with engines. This is a view from João Soares Branco Avenue.
