This door is mildly famous because it’s in Kudee Lane in the old Portuguese neighborhood behind the Santa Cruz Church. It’s claim to fame is its brillant color and the Catholic motifs that dotted around the neighborhood. Also, it’s opposite to a mixed Portuguese-Chinese styled house that has been transformed into small museum.
