Ponta da Oliveira quay

Original title: Cais da Ponta da Oliveira

The Ponta da Oliveira landing stage (1909) and the Lazareto quay (probably 1866–74).

The small landing place at this locality (sítio) was built by the same body in 1909. Cais do Lazareto (‘lazaretto quay’). It was probably built between 1866 and 1874, that is, while the works on the Lazareto (‘quarantine hospital’) were in progress.
