Pousada de Viseu

After visiting Sanctuario de Nossa Senhora dos Remedios, we arrived in Viseu and the Pousada de Viseu, our home for the night. It's a beautiful converted hospital. I thought it might be creepy to spend a night there but it was so beautiful, I completely forgot it was a former hospital.
