Joaquim Simões Carvalho alley
Former alley, currently defaced by recent wall works on neighboring land, once made of stone masonry, as indicated in the remaining section.
This alley, the shortest, connects two important streets in the Historic Center of Bação. A small area of the dry stone wall remains which, on Nova street, is continuous with an adobe wall. The floor remains in beaten earth and the shading is generously provided by the trees, mostly fruit trees, which are still kept in the adjacent backyards, one of which corresponds to the external area of a restaurant.
