Sebastião granted these religious the building next to Alcáçova Real (south of what is now the Porta Férrea), and the Colégio de São Pedro started to use two buildings, one in Baixa, the other in Alta . The downtown building was under the purview of the Regular Third Order of San Francisco (Franciscan friars Calçados or friars Terceiros, aka “Borras”) and the Alta building was intended for doctors and graduates with a view to teaching.
