Big House

Planted since the late XVIII century in Campo das Hortas, the Great House or House of the Cunha Reis (Casa Grande or Casa de Cunha Reis) is one of the different power marks that, over time, the deans of the Cathedral of Braga (Sé de Braga) imprinted to the city. It was its sponsor D. António Alexandre da Cunha Reis da Mota Godinho that built the propriety, considered, at the time, as one of the most significant buildings in Braga’s extra-walls area. His family, connected to the wine trade and the position he held allowed him to flaunt his power (economical, political and religious) through architecture.
