Lagos Slave Market

Situated on the Praça do Infante Dom Henrique in Lagos, this building with four arches was the site where the first slaves brought from Africa were sold, during the 15th Century. On the walls, one can see a stone bearing the coat of arms of the Marquês de Nisa, dating from the 17th Century, and on one wall a window dating from the 15th Century, which originaly was a door.
