Not such a humble history. So well preserved for their age and history.
deux très belles demeures, j'aime leurs couleurs délavées
Must be some pretty solid ground there.
Wonderful group of houses, so well kept and preserved. Someone then was an outstanding contractor. I like the iron balconies and the porticoes.
It's hard to imagine the age of the buildings. They look like they are well maintained.
What stories they could tell. They're beautiful.
It's great that they survived - they are really handsome!
They are beautiful!
"Paws up" for these buildings! Belem is really a splendid neighbourhood!God bless you!Cezar
If those buildings could talk :)Another place to check out when I'm there.
Wow, that is old!
I find it hard to imagine any building still standing that was around in 1755!They look very nice, too. The construction must be solid, to say the least!
Amazing that they are still standing. They don't make them like they used to. Do they?
If only they could talk----maybe not. How amazing to still be standing after all these centuries. MB
And they look good to survive another couple of hundred years!
To survive an earthquake, that is special.Sydney - City and Suburbs
Quality construction... I love the contrast of the black balcony fences and light-colored facades!
An ominous reminder
Nice to know that you covered it :)
You capture their quiet dignity.
They don't look so humble to me.Hope they last another few hundred years.

What's so special about these humble buildings? Just the fact they are some of the very few that survived the earthquake in 1755.
