Nuno Castilho
★★★★★6 months agoReally spectacular tower, which at one point in it's history was used as a mint. Beautiful clock faces and carillon of bells were added during renovations after some damage caused by a fire in the 17th century. Highly recommend visiting the flower market nearby.
Zhihao Tian
★★★★★a year agoI came across an amazing street performer who creates the most magical soap bubbles! Captured some beautiful photos of his work, and they truly don’t do justice to how mesmerizing it is in person. If you ever see him, take a moment to enjoy the bubbles—it’s a little piece of joy in the city!
