Ouriversaria Aliança, was
founded in 1909 and was

with its Rococo décor and
murals by painter Artur
Alves Cardosa. Current
owners,
TOUS
, a Spanish
jewellery company that
has been in business since
1920, has restored the
stunning interiors to
create the most elegant of
settings for its handbags
and jewellery.
