  • CENTÉSIMA PÁGINA BOOKSTORE

    Much more than a place to buy books, Centésima Página (Page One Hundred) is a space to mingle with books.
    The bookstore provides a perfect environment: quiet, serene, warm and pleasant. Housed in a building that has been classified as Public Interest since 1977, the Rolão House is one of the best preserved examples of 18th century Baroque style.
    The bookstore lets its visitors sit comfortably while reading the book they may be contemplating… a good read that may be accompanied by an equally good slice of homemade cake or, if its lunchtime, a sandwich, a pasta or lasagna, available at the store’s cafeteria. If the weather is inviting, you can also enjoy the house’s garden.
