Casa dos Bicos

Fodor's Review:

The House of Pointed Stones, an Italianate dwelling, was built in 1523 for Bras de Albuquerque, the son of Afonso, who became the viceroy of India and who conquered Goa and Malacca. It has a striking facade studded with pointed white stones in diamond shapes. The interior is similarly impressive. The top two floors were destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, and restoration did not begin until the early 1980s.
