Curved windows, coats of arms and a chapel dedicated to Santa Quitéria: Casa da Breia holds marks of several generations. The manor is located in São Nicolau and is connected to the family Leite de Barros.
The record of the Cultural Heritage distinguishes two dates: there is documentation about the house since the 15th century, but the building it describes is mainly six hundred, with transformations in the 18th and 19th centuries. This difference helps to read the set without attributing the same age to all its parts.
The housing is organized in U. A side staircase leads to the porch of the entrance; in the chapel and the adjacent wall, the small circular openings and decorative finishes make up another of its features. The inner portal boasts the family's weapons. This history of architecture does not confirm visits to the interior or access to the property.
