This water was diverted from a weir on River Lis, to flow on a canal and rotate the water wheel of Leiria's Paper Factory - now Paper Mill Museum. HFW!

This is displayed inside the Paper Mill Museum of Leiria.

Located at Fábrica do Papel Street, this watermill is now integrated in the Paper Mill Museum of Leiria.

Each of them activates a watermill. On the foreground, it's the olive oil mill; on the background, it's the paper mill. Both make part of Leiria's Paper Mill Museum. HFW!

This river section is very close to the watermill where olive oil used to be produced: at Fábrica do Papel Street, Leiria. In this image nothing suggests this is inside the city. HFW!

Located at October 5th Square, Leiria, this building was initially an agency of the Bank of Portugal. Some decades later it became a gallery of arts exhibition. It was projected by Ernesto Korrodi (1870-1944), architect born in Zürich. He moved to Braga, Portugal, in 1889 and settled for good in Leiria in 1894, where he projected the restoration of the castle and created other buildings (including this magnificent one), not only in Leiria but also in other cities and towns. He obtained The Portuguese citizenship, changing his first name from Ernst to Ernesto.

Located at Sé Square, this cathedral was built between 1559 and 1574.

This house was a pharmacy and now is in decay, waiting for its turn to be restored. It is located in Sé Square, Leiria, in front of the cathedral.
