The Casa da Dizima (Tithe House) is located in the south east corner of the Praça Infante Dom Henrique next to Igreja Santa Maria em lagos. The building is built into and against a section of the old Medieval wall of Lagos. The original use of this building was used to administer quality control on products shipped to the port of Lagos from producers in India and South America. In 1728 it was used as the Customs House but was very badly damaged in the 1755 earthquake. The building seen today was rebuilt in the nineteenth century. Today the building is attached to the Hospital of Lagos.
