Information

Residential architecture from the nineteenth century. Housing on an elevated floor and shops and warehouses on the ground floor. The rear in particular impresses with its elegant three-tiered staircase structure and the slender mirant that towers above it in a play with horizontal bands.

This block is located in the transition strip between the streets of the historic center of Olhão, with a Mediterranean character, and the area that extends to the railway line, which was urbanized in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a regular structure and a large volumetric and constructive homogeneity.
