This was Gustave Eiffel's office, with some of its furnishings. He designed one of the iron bridges in Porto, but not the famous Dom Luis I bridge.

The historic Imperial Cafe is now a McDonald's - which has preserved the Art Deco murals and other details. We visited for the structure, not the food, as I'm sure many do.

After the cathedral, we walked toward the train station, Sao Bento - noted for the tile work in the front lobby. What was cropped from this photo is some of the massive amount of construction in central Porto in conjunction with building a new metro line (you can see a large backhoe).
