The itinerary proposed by the Historic center initially overlaps with the route from Ribeira da Carpinteira, between the Nucleus of the Royal Cloth Factory of the Wool Museum of the University of Beira Interior and the intersection of Rua Marquês d’Ávila and Bolama with Rua do Peso da Lã.
Going up this road, the toponymy reports us to the place where we weighed and paid the respective county tax, of which today there is no field evidence. You reach Rua Visconde da Coriscada and the civic center of the city. In the vicinity of Largo 5 de Outubro, in the current Millenium BCP building, the wool warehouse of the firm Ernesto Cruz was located, whose factory was located on the Sineiro site. At Rua Comendador Mendes Veiga, in memory of the illustrious industrialist, the headquarters of Sporting Clube da Covilhã is currently located in the building that was the home of Francisco Henriques da Cruz and an important wool warehouse of the firm Cruz & Cunhado. The property consists of 3 floors, with Marseille tile coverage, iron balconies, decorative granite strips along the entire elevation and in the various openings on the facade.
