Behind the Church of Almacave was Rua do Bom Despacho, which ended in a square with a cruise, which is nowadays in the Museum of Lamego, to start the Rua da Misericórdia, where the "Muralha" was located and, , there was Rua de S. Francisco.

"One day they joined the Bom Despacho Street, the Misericórdia Street and the Rua de S. Francisco, and there was the current Rua de Almacave."
