A plaque commemorating the centenary of Eça de Queirós having lived in Leiria is located here. The plaque, which has the writer’s silhouette on it, is on the facade of the building where he lived as municipal administrator.

References in the book:
“- And here’s your palace! – said the canon, as he used the knocker on a long, thin door.”
“Two ancient balconies protruded out of the first-floor facade, with rounded thyme bushes in wooden boxes decorating their corners. The small, upper windows had protruding windowsill sand the irregular wall resembled a dented can.”
