Next on our adventure is the historic Jardim do Cordoaria, a garden deeply rooted in Porto's history and its connection to the Jewish community, who once sold ropes (cordas) here, inspiring its modern name.

The square in front of the building bears the name of his famous novel Love of Perdition, a poignant connection to the building’s history.

Built in the 18th century by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, this baroque masterpiece rises to 75 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city from its summit. Originally part of the Clerigos Church, the tower was designed to guide ships along the Douro River, embodying Porto's maritime heritage. With its intricate details and towering presence, the Clerigos Tower is a symbol of the city’s historical and architectural grandeur, making it a must-see for anyone exploring Porto.
