Primary School in the Neighborhood of Casas para Pescadores

Nowhere in Portugal (except in Fuzeta) the 'Cubist Architecture' is so dominantly represented in the cityscape as in Olhão. You should see the city in the last or beginning sunlight try to look from a higher place in order to be able to view the magnificent 'Cubist play' of flat roofs with superstructures (mirants and contra-mirants), stairs and typical chimneys in full glory.

Even in the architectural policy of the Estado Novo of dictator Salazar, led by Minister Duarte Pacheco, who came from Loulé and was greatly honored there, recognized Olhão's cubism style. And so Olhão was allowed to deviate from the standard buildings designed by state architect Raul Lino with hipped roofs with tiles. An adapted school with flat roofs has therefore been specially designed for Olhão, in keeping with the cubist character of Olhão and the adjacent Bairro de Pescadores.
