The street to the right of Carmo Church leads to Praça Carlos Alberto, a lovely square surrounded by old buildings. One of those is Teatro Carlos Alberto (or simply "TeCA") that hosts cultural events.
In the center of the square is a monument to the dead of the Great War (1914-1918).

This square then leads to one of Oporto's most characteristic streets. It has been pedestrianised, and is covered with the typical Portuguese cobblestone pavement. It is lined with shops but retains a residential atmosphere.

Turn left to Rua Miguel Bombarda, and you'll find a quiet residential street but that is home to several art galleries.
