The Municipal Markets of Olhão
The Municipal Markets of Olhão, one of the highlights of the city of Olhão, began to be built in 1912, being opened four years later. For almost a century, they have been one of Olhão's postcards and a must-visit place for tourists and residents.Its construction consisted of consolidating the buildings through a process known as pile driving, with each building supported on 88 piles, connected to each other through brick masonry arches. It is a place to visit, for these and other reasons.A model example of iron and glass architecture, the building, with enormous urban impact, made of exposed brick and metal structure, was built to provide the city of Olhão with functional markets, which is what happened. Every day, hundreds of people visit the Markets, looking for the best fish, fruits and vegetables.Longitudinal in plan, the Markets are composed of two rectangular spaces with rounded apexes, corresponding to the Vegetable Market and the Fish Market, both of which are delimited by four circular glass turrets. Subjected to rehabilitation works at the end of the 20th century (photo 9), they maintain their exterior appearance, reopening to the public in 1998. One of the most recent innovations is the interior, covered with tiles painted by Costa Pinheiro.
The Customs Building - 1842
The customs building of the Port of Olhão is one of the properties that documents the port's past and origins. The customs office was not established until 1842 and dates from the years immediately after the building's construction.With a distinctly 19th century and eclectic architecture, the property has a main facade facing west (not towards the beach) and is divided into three parts: the sides with two floors and the central part with a third floor. These give the complex a remarkable urban impact, where symmetry is the dominant feature, a circumstance reinforced by the arrangement of the access and lighting openings: seven identical doors on the first floor with a broken arch and equidistant from each other, a number that is repeated on the ground floor, but where these elements are treated more carefully, with an arch flag consisting of wooden grilles and iron balustrades.On the second floor there is a platibanda decorated with metopes that enhances the experience of linearity, symmetry and harmony of the whole. The third floor corresponds to the three central doors of the building and has only one axial wooden window, the configuration of which repeats the broken scheme of the lower windows.Unfortunately, the interior of the customs office has been considerably tampered with. At the end of the 19th century it still served as the headquarters of the captain of the port of Olhão, but the building was abandoned the following year. Currently there are commercial services on the floors and a restaurant with shops and a pastelaria on the ground floor.
'Instituto de Investigação das Pescas e do Mar’ - 1997 - architects Opera Design Matters
In 1997, this 'Instituto de Investigação das Pescas e do Mar' was installed here as a part of Centro Regional de Investigação Pesqueira do Sul. The building designed by architectural firm Opera Design Matters from Lisbon looks like a scaled-down version of a building by the American architect Richard Meier, who belonged to the 'New York Five' group, who were also called the "Whites" because of their white buildings.Richard Meier's buildings are often cladded with white tiles like this building, but then mostly made of Italian Carrara Marble and not these cheap white ceramic tiles. The office complex with white tiles in different sizes looks like a closed fortress with a sturdy fence around it, which would be more appropriate for an "American Embassy" than for a research institute.The architecture consists of a modular system that is also continued outside the facade in a cheerful play of beams and columns that, among other things, frame a pond with here and there a balcony as an outdoor space.
Building of the Port of Olhão - architect Paulo Cunha
Contemporary 20th century security architecture for public safety and control at sea, which is carried out by military forces (Navy). Project of the architect Paulo Cunha for the new building of the Captaincy of the Port of Olhão, commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works.
Building on Rua Dr. Francisco Fernandes Lopes no. 20
A contemporary, multi-family and commercial residential building with two floors and retail on the ground floor, resulting from the recent extension of a 1950s building. The original characteristic of a Portuguese architecture of the 1940s and 1950s, common on peripheral and/or industrial locations.These are characteristics of this typology: the great simplicity of the volumetric treatment, which is sometimes emphasized by the lack of sloping roof coverings and the purity of the higher contours (as is the case here); the clear distinction between ground floor and floor, which translates functional diversity (trade/housing) into material diversity. In this example, this composite diversity has the clear marking of the edge with a flap as a distinction between the ground floor with stone cladding and the plastered floors above.Windows of different sizes and the use of recurring compositional mechanisms, such as the decomposition of the facade into multiple surfaces, by jumping forward and falling back of these planes in depth and height. The center piece of the dominant facade jumps forward and is supported by a series of consoles arranged as decoration. The stairwell has an accent in the high and narrow, slightly protruding side strip and the series of small square windows that mainly accentuate the continuous height.
Double house at Rua de São José 27/29 with Art Deco influences
A contemporary art-deco multi-family home with two floors, as a result of an extension. The quality of the beautiful symmetrical facade is based on simple decorations consisting of horizontally applied bands on the platibandas with a vertical accent here and there.The square ceramic tile panels underneath and the recessed surfaces in the facade. The horizontal metal strips with round corners and alternating width in the balcony fencing.The horizontality of the glazing bars in doors and windows. Together with a number of striking details that define this architecture of the twenties and thirties, inspired by Art Deco.
Building at Largo Sebastiãu Martins Mestre no. 6
Contemporary multi-family and commercial residential building with apartments on the first floor and commercial spaces on the ground floor. The architectural language of the building is characteristic of the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, combining Art Deco inspiration with the first period of modernism.See, for example, the zigzag decorations of the balcony railings and the transition between the facade surfaces. The recesses of the platibanda or the structure of the 'mirant' with a rounded front, reminiscent of the structure of a boat. Color plays an important role in the differentiation of the building elements.
Olhão Municipal Slaughterhouse / Historical Archives of Olhão
Industrial architecture. Slaughterhouse reused and requalified for archiving.1938, March - the date of the project of the new Municipal Slaughterhouse of Olhão, written by architect Frederico Caetano de Carvalho of the DGEMN Southern Buildings Directorate, commissioned by the Olhão City Council1992 - The Olhão Historical Archive was temporary established in the building of the former slaughterhousePhoto 2. AurelioZen
Building block Chaminé - Rua do Comercio no. 87
Contemporary apartments and commercial spaces on the ground floor around the corner. A characteristic pattern of Portuguese 'Suave' architecture from the 1960s.Inclusion in the heritage context is often based on traditional stereotypical elements: Window/door openings in worked stone, bluestone balconies and horizontal moldings / roof overhangs covered with tiles (even if they are not necessary in the case of flat roofs, as here).Interesting details such as the doorbells, the chimney through which you enter the restaurant and the beautiful natural stone with all kinds of shell motifs.....and when you go inside, don't forget to look up at the special ceiling.
Chapel of Senhora da Soledade - 17th century
In the center of the city of Olhão, in the Algarve, the Chapel of Senhora da Soledade (also called Little Church) has no specific date of construction, but is estimated at the beginning of the 17th century. The building suffered considerably from the earthquake of 1755 and a number of renovations and restorations followed.The church is located at the point where Rua Capitão João Carlos Mendonça and Rua da Soledade meet. The dome is visible from the outside and inside it has five altars, with Our Lady of Soledade in the center. On the sides the Lord of Altos, Santa Clara, Santa Luzia and São Sebastião.Other names include the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Soledade; the Parish Church of Olhão and the Church of the Dead as it is almost exclusively used for funeral ceremonies.
Building at Rua do Comércio no. 120
Contemporary residential architecture. Housing on an elevated floor and retail on the ground floor, as a result of successive extensions of the existing homes. Platibanda with Art Deco references.
Municipal Museum of Olhão
The Museum is housed in the former Casa do Compromisso Marítimo, an architectural landmark of great importance for the city dating from the end of the 18th century and entirely built ' at the expense of the sailors of the Nobre Casa do Corpo Santo in this place in Olhão', with the aim of housing this fraternity created to support seafarers.The brotherhood had, on the ground floor, an apothecary (pharmacy) and a butcher's shop to serve seafarers. On the main floor was the Despachos Room, which features a painting on the wooden lining of the roof featuring the coat of arms of the Portuguese royal arms.After extensive renovation work on the property, the Olhão City Museum was opened in 2001, a name it retained until 2014, when it became the Municipal Museum of Olhão.The Museum acts as a mediator of Olhanense Culture, preserving, interpreting, promoting and disseminating the municipality's heritage testimonies.The collection in its custody is extensive and diverse, comprising collections such as: maritime heritage, archaeology, numismatics, canning industry, plastic and decorative arts, photography, metrology, cinema, agricultural works, naval models, weapons, freemasonry and pharmacy.Text and photos @cm-olhao
Building at Praça de Restauraçao no.12 - 1960/70
Contemporary apartment complex on two floors above commercial use on the ground floor after expansion and transformation of previous buildings.The architectural presentation of the building is characteristic of the modern formal language of the 1960s and 1970s. In a design with framed balconies and their integration into the facade.These concrete frame elements form a new kind of front facade and clearly belong to the modern architectural grammar of that time.Around the corner - the same bank - a completely different modernist interpretation with composite aluminum profiles and ceramic surfaces
Church Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e Chapel de Nosso Senhor dos Aflitos - 1715
Construction of the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, the current Mother Church of Olhão, began in 1698 and was opened in 1715 (still unfinished). The contract for the construction of the tower dates from 1722.The facade reads: 'This new temple was built at the expense of the sailors of this people, when there were only a few tribes.' Due to its delicacy, it attracts a lot of attention from tourists visiting the historic area of Olhão in the center of the city.In the second half of the 18th century, the main facade, one of the most impressive in the Algarve, was renovated with a triangular crown. Inside are five altars with a single nave and a slight projection from the transept. The chapel has a golden altarpiece and a triumphal arch, a ceiling decorated with a fresco and an image of Our Lady of the Rosary.At the back of the church, the Chapel of the Aflitos was built, highlighting the tile panel with the crucified Christ.
Residential Building Avenida da República, nº. 4-8 - 1960/70
Straight and minimalist residential building with commercial spaces on the Avenida da Republica no. 4-8 A building included in the SIPA (Information System for Architectural Heritage) of Olhão.A straight forward building and a tight structure. Striking by the use of color, its shining mosaic and especially the emergency stairways at the back (visible from the inner court area of the Re-Creatieva República 14).Here it distinguishes itself by the functionalist application of twisted concrete stairs with beveled supports and slender steel profiles for the handrail and the balustrades.Beautiful modernist tile work on the ground floor near the shops and entrance.Photographs: John Shepherd and Will Köhlen
Building no.14 of Av. da República
Building no.14 of Av. da República was built in the 19th century by a Spanish citizen of Olha, Pantoja Soares. Later, the Olhanense Recreativa (Recreativa Rica) was founded here, the first of the associations of its kind founded in Olhão.She is mainly remembered for the admission system, with a white ball and a black ball, where a single black ball would not allow the candidate to be admitted. This made access for new members a difficult process due to social elitism. The carnival celebrations were famous and infamous.It is a rectangular one-story building with a bluestone plinth. The front facade is crowned with a platibanda with a balustrade. Next to the door is a plaque with the following inscription: 'In this house was born on March 6, 1893 / Dr. Luiz Bernardino da Silva, devoted and illustrious Olhanense'.The main facade is divided into eight window axes an window frames with pointed ogival arches and a double door with above woodcarvings with pointed arches and a closing stone. At the bottom/side of the doors are sloping bluestone panels with spiral decorations.Now the Associaçao Cultural Re-Criativa República 14 Olhão is located here and organizes exhibitions, concerts, courses, movies, an organic market and other cultural events. They also have a bar and a nice large outdoor terrace.Photos Lénia Medina
Building on corner Rua Almirante Reis / Rua da Cerca
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.
Building at the corner of the Almirante Reis / Tv. do Júdice
Striking modernist building in the style of post-war architecture. Building with commercial space on the ground floor and apartments on the two floors above. Beautiful cut out balconies in a wide alternating framework, both at the head and along the longitudinal facade.Fully tiled facades to the Almirante Reis and Tv. do Júdice, which makes the balconies even more loosely from the fronts. Manuel Gomes da Costa 'Look a Like' but different in important details.
Residential Building Topa 1. - Rua 18e Junho - architect J. Belchior - 1957/58
This building, designed by civil engineer J. Belchior, in one of the main access roads to Olhão, the Rua 18th Junho is a typical building produced by non-architects.It looks like a standard residential building with commercial spaces and has an orthogonal grid that is partly filled with panels of different materials, textures and transparency and is used as a second skin for the building.On the ground floor the angled shopping windows and the "flashy" door fittings reminds us of prints from a comic strip.Photographs: Urgélia Santos, Isabel Macieira e John Shepherd
Building Topa 2. Rua 18 de Junho 4 / 6 + Rua Gonçalo Velho no. 15 - Architects Carlos Ramos & A. Bastos 1953-1954
A contemporary apartment block with commercial spaces on the ground floor and living on the first floor. Merging of two buildings into an urban block. Characteristic of a certain Portuguese architecture of the 1940s and 1950s, produced in peripheral and/or industrial locations. Architects Carlos Ramos & A. Bastos The features of this typology: the great simplicity of the volumetric treatment, which is sometimes emphasized by the lack of sloping roofs and the purity of the higher contours (as is the case here); the clear distinction between floor and raised floor, which translates functional diversity (trade/housing) into material and composite diversity (in this example, the clear marking of the edge with a protruding flap and the stone cladding on the ground floor).The openings (windows / doors) of different sizes and the use of recurring compositional mechanisms, such as the decomposition of the facade into multiple surfaces. By making these surfaces jump forward and fall back in depth and height (platibandas at different heights), the building gets a certain dynamics.
Post, Telegraph and Telephone Building, CTT - 1942 - 1947 / 1953 - 1958
Communication architecture from the 20th century. Post office with a characteristic characteristic of the post-war modern movement as a regional variant. In contrast to a building with a traditional 'platibanda', the architect has opted for a 'folded platibanda'.The positive opinion of the Directorate of National Monuments Services (DSMN) of the DGEMN from 1947 was signed by the director of the service and indicates that he is 'fully satisfied with the study of facades that are simple and well balanced', but the recommendation to its author was to 'balance the main facade and the right lateral forward body like the stonework corners'
Caixa Geral de Depósitos Building: CGD Olhão - architect Arq. Jorge Olive
Bank building located in front of the Av. da República, the main road in the city, on the oldest stretch corresponding to the Passeio Público de Olhão. Designed (1953) in accordance with the prevailing 'classical' architectural style of the 'Estado Nova' submitted by 'state architect' Jorge Oliveira.In submitting the preliminary design, his director noted that 'the exterior well reflects the character of a public and banking building', although he suggests more caution in the final design of the window and gate rails, which are considered vulnerable.Photos: SIPA
Apartment block Avenida da Republica 62 - 1950/60
A contemporary multi-family apartment complex in two floors and a commercial space with mezzanine on the ground floor. The architectural composition is characteristic of the modern movement of the 1950s and 1960s.Simple, functionall designed white concrete facade in which parts as balconies and the platibanda have been reduced to an almost brutalistic minimum in form and use of materials. Some accent through the vertical red brickwork and canopy above the entrance to the apartments.Don't forget to look at the stairs at the back.
Former Fish Auction
Commercial architecture from the 20th century. The fish auction was intended for the transaction of bulk fish. The architectural composition that is characteristic of the mature period of the Modern Movement (after the war) is well reflected in its industrial application, for example in the loose portals at the front, the ray-shaped concrete overhangs at the backside and in the composition of the facade elements.In the future the former Fish Auction, located on the west side of the city's Fishing Port, next to Avenida 16 de Junho, will be transformed into a space for «innovation and tasting in the area of restaurants». It has already been repainted in anticipation of future developments.
Vila Majuca
A contemporary and Art Deco working community with factories and warehouses. The composition of the facade on the street is based on the daily surprising and formal lexicon that is so characteristic of the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, inspired by Art Deco.For example: vertical rib decorations above the windows. The colorful tile decoration of the platibanda and the framed name 'Vila Majuca' above the beautiful entrance gate.
Apartment block - Avenida da Republica 116
Apartment block with four-storey single-family homes. The architectural quality consists of extremely simple elements that are characteristic for the lexicon from the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s. Here the slanting shapes of the balconies are reinforced by the (also) slanting surface of the facade, arranged in horizontal surfaces with lying back bands.The symmetrically arranged balustrades of the balconies are divided from the middle. At one side a closed surface of colorful vertically offset tiles and on the other side and an open fence. The whole grants the facade a subtle play of light and shadow, partly due to the refined slanting surface and the material finish used.Don't forget to look at the stairs at the back.
Estalagem Caíque (60/70)
The desolate condition of the former 'Estalagem Caíque' on the Rua 18 de Junho needs no further explanation, even with the wrong intervention on the ground floor. It is waiting for a new destination as a hotel. Maybe then the ugly extension at the front will disappear and a new terrace is created as it once used to be.Photograph: Ana Ricardo Infante a.o.
Casa Correia -
Surprising house with interesting details that clearly differ from the usual details of bigger homes in Olhão. The roof has partly a gable roof and partly a flat roof with platibanda and twisted concrete circles as an opening. A standing bluestone plinth and beautiful rounded corners. The cross-shaped natural stone finishes around the windows and doorway are special.
Headquarters of the Gremio of the Algarve Fish Canning Industry
The Gremio of the Fish Canning Industry has the characteristic composition of the public architecture in the Algarve in the 1930s and 1940s, combining locally inspired elements (patio, outdoor stairs, buttresses, chimneys) with conveying the dignity of public buildings (volume/symmetry, autonomous in the environment, constructive solidity and elaborate details).The building was a worthy representative of a predominant architectural movement in Portuguese practice of the first half of the 20th century. It is special in its modest scale, the balanced use of compositional and decorative elements and an open relationship with its neigbor environment.
Building Avenida da República, n.º 154 - 1950/60
This building at the Avenida da Republica is a beautiful white symmetrical concrete structure that reminds us a bit of a cinema or garage. The balcony is pushed forward like a second skin and has cheeks with round perforations.The skin has wooden sunblocks, with a steel balustrade an open parapet filled with chicken wire. The round columns - slightly interrupted - by a canopy can cause an idea of a building on stilts, but that is only fake. It is as a block, a beautiful block.Photographs: José Rosa Gonçalves e Will Köhlen a.o.
Art Deco House - Casa de Poço
Casa de Poço, a contemporary Art Deco house (now A.L.) with two floors. The quality of the beautiful symmetrical facade is based on a large number of decorations consisting of horizontally applied bands on the front and the platibanda with underneath it a colorful strip with ceramic tiles.The horizontal curved concrete strips in the balcony fencing and a number of striking details that define this architecture of the twenties and thirties, inspired by Art Deco.
Courthouse de Olhão - architect Raul Rodrigues Lima - 1963
This Courthouse from 1959 is designed by architect Raul Rodrigues Lima. As a 'state architect', he designed courthouses and other government buildings all over the country. His courthouses are usually characterized by monumentality and classicism.At the design for this Olhão courthouse he found no reason to change this point of view because of the 'cubist' building tradition of Olhão. The only concession at his first design was to add a flat roof. When he presented it to the CSOP (building department) it was Eugenio Correia that considered that the design did not respond to the requested building style that goes with Olhão.Raul Lima was urged to make a new and more regional design. It resulted in the current buildingwhich has - as the most important adaptation - two panels with figurative mosaics, that should meet more closely with the fisch & seafood tradition of the city of Olhão.Photograph: Cláudia Perdigão a.o.
Train station
After an initial attempt in 1870, efforts were resumed at the end of the 19th century to provide the Algarve with a railway network by continuing the Southern Railway, to improve transport within the region and toother parts of the country, especially to Lisbon.In 1902, the final plan was approved for the construction of the second line of the rail link between Faro and Vila Real de Santo António, including a station in the town of Olhão with a railway line between the station and the local quay for the transport of fish.The station opened on May 15, 1904 in the presence of a large crowd. At that time, the area where the station was located was on the outskirts of Olhão, but far away from the commercial and industrial centers.The next stretch to Fuzeta opened on September 1 of that year. The main goods shipped across the country were frozen or salted fish in wooden boxes. Especially to Lisbon and the regions in the north.The fish was brought from the warehouses in the village to the station in mule carts and then transported in special freight trains. In terms of passenger traffic This is one of the most important stations in the Algarve for tourists. Between this station and Faro, Fuzeta-Moncarapacho, Tavira and Monte Gordo there are also many regular passengers. This section of the Algarve line is currently being electrified.The former home of the station master has been completely restored and now offers a journey into the world of Algarve flavors with Restaurant Petiscais. https://www.facebook.com/Petiscais
Neighborhood 11 de Março / Neighborhood SAAL de Marim - Arq.º José Maria Lopes da Costa.
Single-family residential architectural complex. Economic housing for state public promotion (FFH / Operation SAAL). Medium-sized complex, made up of single-family townhouses with one floor and two floors with a patio at the back, forming blocks.Arq.º José Maria Lopes da Costa.May 15 1974: The First Provisional Government takes office. In July architect Nuno Portas, then Secretary of State for Housing and Urbanism, presents the "Program of priority actions to be considered by the services of the Housing Development Fund". This program sought to define an action policy for Housing, aimed at the most needy populations, but with the capacity for self-organization, granting the State help in the implementation of new relocation neighborhoods, infrastructures, technical support and financing; the Local Ambulatory Support Service (SAAL) presupposed either the assessment of potential locations for "self-construction" operations and the possibility of a credit system granted by the FFH to groups of residents or cooperatives. The preparation of technical personnel to manage the local, unemployed, or volunteer labor, to form Construction, Sanitation and Urbanization Brigades; 24 June - after the II Provisional Government took office, the architect Nuno Teotónio Pereira develops the "Interpretive Study of the Objectives to Pursue through the SAAL", in which it is established that the support given by the FFH, extended to the entire national territory, excluded the areas of the Integrated Plans, under its responsibility (Monte da Caparica, Zambujal, Setúbal, Aveiro, Matosinhos, Guimarães).Homes type T2 and T3 with the possibility of expansion in the future.
Municipal Library José Mariano Gago - Architect Carlos Martins.
The Olhão Municipal Library opened to the public on June 16, 2008.This library, located in the city center, is the result of the adaptation of the building of the former Municipal Hospital, and the project was designed by architect Carlos Martins.A collection of around 2000 documents is available to residents, including books, newspapers, magazines, audio CDs, DVDs and CD-ROMs, as well as computers for free Internet access.
Buildng Avenida Bernardinho da Silva 20
Contemporary, residential and commercial architecture. The living is on the first floor and the shop is on the ground floor. The architectural composition is characteristic of Portuguese architecture from the early 20th century in an eclectic style, with platibandas and balconies full of exuberant decorative elements.The former shop with warehouse has now become an ordinary vending machine hall.
Municipal Fire Department of Olhão
Fire station, possibly a former cooperative wine cellar (Inquerito à Arquitectura do Século XX in Portugal), with an architectural composition that incorporates the formal languages that characterized the first applications in the 1930. The building refers to a modern lexicon, characterized by regional elements (body on the avenue), and later moments (1940s and 1950s), when the traditionalist lexicon overlaps the modern matrix (side body, across the street).Photos: SIPA
Apartment Building Av. Bernardino da Silva 42 - architect Manuel Gomes da Costa (or imitation)
A contemporary, large (nine-storey) multi-family and commercial residential building whose architectural composition is characteristic of the current production of income housing in the 1960s. Architect Manuel Gomes da Costa (or imitation)Using a limited number of elements from the modern and simplified lexicon: balconies 'on bookcase' that completely define the facade over the avenue, consisting of an orthogonal impact of vertical elements (dividing points, pillars hidden in leaves, sliding panels for sliding panels) and horizontal elements (balcony curtains, aluminum beams to support the awnings)Built-in floor with a flap structure and in line with the balcony surface, which crowns the constructed volume.
Vivenda Estelita / Gabrita house - architect J.Matamouros 1960
Joao Matamouros is the designer of Vivenda Estalita/ Gabrita house (1960) on the corner of Rua da Olivenca and built for Mr. Cabrita - a custom police lieutenant - and his family. The house and its contemporary appearance created - together with the other houses - a sort of modernist enclave for the local elite.The neighboring house in the Rua de’O Algarve is a residential home designed by architect Manuel Gomes da Costa for the Dr Matos, the towns public health delegate.Opposite are the modern twin residences for the magistrates of the court. Vivenda Estalita/ Gabrita house stands out through the confetti-like mosaics at the background of a pronounced cubist façade with beautiful contrasting tiles in a special geometric motif. The balconies designed as open boxes look as crowns glued to the front- and side wall.Photographs: John Shepherd a.o.
Casa Matos - architect Manuel Gomes da Costa 1957 / 58
The Matos house in the Rua de’O Algarve 22 is a residential home designed by architect Manuel Gomes da Costa for Dr Matos, the towns public health delegate. Renovated with some deviations from the original details.
Twin Villa - architect Armando Martins - 1959/63
Sad and abandoned this Twin Villa - a design by architect Armando Martins (from 1959-63) - stands waiting for a new life. Once built on the Rua de Olivencia as a residence for the magistrates at the new court of Olhão.They are in a miserable state, but you can still see the beauty that once radiated fromthese two houses. With their slender horizontal façade structure and the open canopy at the front, where a palm tree once proudly passed through and now tries to survive.For the architect the design was his personal response to the so characteristic "'white cubism' of Olhão. In which he gives shape to in an - particularly for residential constructions - unusual way in the Algarve.Photograph: Isabel Macieira a.o.
Modernist apartment block
Surprisingly modernist apartment complex that stands out mainly because of its special and completely different front and backside facade.Brut concrete and ceramic mosaic at the front and a square 'brise soleil' with Caribbean motifs in concrete at the back and surprising decorative small cobogos at the bottom of the expansive rear facade with a pastel ceramic tile motif.
Apartment building at Rua de Olivença no. 1 / 1A - Architect unknown
This building on the Rua de Olivença is a real surprise. From the front side you don’t suspect the spatial quality and rhythmic of the facade, that you will experience when you approach the building from the other side of the block. Playful, with elegant balconies - as far as they are not closed by windowframes - and beautiful views into the escape staircases.Despite all of tis, the quality of the composition of the open and closed surfaces of the balustrades and the swinging sunblocks are still visible. At the ground floor apartments, the wooden frames and traditional sun blinds are particularly striking because of their traditional finish that gives the 'modern' building a different look.This roof is designed as a small landscape. It consists of light concrete structures, made of bent canopies on sloping columns. Other canopies have closed and half-open surfaces through which filtered light enters and are pierced - very surprisingly - by traditional Algarvian chimneys. Samba music for the eye.Photographs: Cláudia Perdigão, Jose Ramirez, Urgélia Santos e John Shepherd
Chico Arcanjo building - 1909
Surprisingly surviving house among the 'rough' urban development that has taken place here. The house was built in 1909 for the Arcanjo familie.Majestic double staircase at this elevated house, which probably used to have a workshop on the ground floor.I wouldn't be surprised if the architect of the houses in the 'Bairro de Pescadores' got his idea of the double staircase here... just around the corner.

Chalé Baete - (Av. Dr. Bernardino da Silva 70-82
Chalé Baete built in 1928 on Avenida Dr. Bernardino da Silva, who shaped the urban development of Olhão during the growth of the canning industry, is one of the more beautiful buildings of Olhão with its particularly beautiful azulejos tableaus by Jorge Colaço. This building in the style of eclecticism combines classical influences with new materials, such as the ironwork reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style.The first owner, who also had the house built, was Domingos Lourenco Beate, who, in addition to being deputy mayor, had also started a fish canning factory in 1918. Chalé Baete, in addition to being an expression of the owner's prosperity, is also a tribute to the history of Olhão. In three tableaus, the renowned artist Jorge Colaço, who has painted his famous azulejos tableaus all over the world, including at Windsor Castle, has succeeded in uniting the famous history of Olhão and the prosperity of its owner. In the tympanum we see the industrial development of Olhão depicted in a female figure with the factories in the background and next to her, as patron, Neptune, the God of the sea.The right tableau tells about the heroic crossing and arrival in Rio de Janeiro in 1808 with the Bom Sucesso, where a number of 'Heroes of Olhao', the Portuguese king, who had emigrated to Brazil, came to hear that Napoleon had been expelled from Portugal during a battle that had started in Olhão.The left tableau shows a number of typical fishing boats 'Qaiques', with their traditional equipment and fishing methods as a tribute to the sea and fishing in Olhão.Through the central entrance doors you enter the hall with a monumental staircase flanked by two Corinthian columns that give the whole a theater foyer-like appearance. On both side walls of the hall there are azulejo tableaus from 1921 with the images of the daughters Virginia and Natéricia Baete in beautifully decorated medallions with Ria Formosa in the background. These works were also created by the renowned and famous artist and specialist in the production of large tile paintings Jorge Colaço.When Chalé Baete became vacant in the 1960s, it was rented to the municipality, which first housed the fire brigade and in 1989 a gallery, the municipal library and a cultural association. This use has significantly affected the building in the form of a number of newly installed aluminum frames and doors in the side wings to replace the existing ones.Thanks to the efforts of APOS, which proposed to the Direcão Regional da Cultura in 2007 that it be put on the list of 'municipal Interest', the building has not yet been demolished. The building has now been given the status of a 'municipal process', which provides a lot less protection. The loss of all documents in 2009 regarding this 'municipal process' does not make the protection of this characteristic building any easier. António Paula Brito - APOS
House Av. Dr. Bernardino da Silva no. 90
Civil architecture, new art. Single-family house, peri-urban, which combines Arte Nova elements (tiles of the cornice of the main facade) with other more eclectic elements, whose function expresses itself to the image of power and wealth that the developers desire (boundary wall with waiting rooms on the main facade; source preceding the noble floor; double staircase with balustrade in front of the main portal).A property typical of the civil residential architecture practiced in Olhão at the beginning of the 20th century by families with some economic power.
Horta da Cavalinho Neighborhood of economic houses - architect Eugénio Correia - 1945/50
In the year following the approval of the Vila de Olhão Urbanization Plan, the municipality aware of the problem of lack of housing in the village and taking advantage of the areas foreseen in the even for new economic neighborhoods, asked DGEMN for assistance in building a new neighborhood with 100 homes.The project for the new neighborhood, located to the northeast of the village, in Horta da Cavalinha, was handed over to architect Eugénio Correia, in 1945, who could continue his work in Olhão, after the CPCP's Bairro de Casas Económicas, in 1936. The architect maintained the traces of the first neighborhood, as well as iconic features, including roof terraces with platibandas and exterior stairs with an arched passage, as well as the intention of garden spaces outside the house.Different from the previous one was the introduction of houses with two floors, which were characterized by a pergola at the entrance to the house, and the street layout followed the provisions of the town's General Urbanization Plan.The neighborhood was completed in 1950. Like all constructions in the Enomics House Plans, had to be low cost, with regional materials and techniques..
Vivenda/ Chalé Vitoria
Vivenda/chalé Vitoria, looks like a church building, but is nevertheless a vila in historical revival style from 1918, is located on the infamous N125. The client of this Vivenda Vitoria was an Italian manufacturer who also had a canning factory built near the harbor at the height of the fishing industry in the early years of the 20th century.The Italian owner sold the building to banker José Guerreiro Mendonça, who sold it in turn to Tomás Saias, a former Brazilian emigrant who, together with his brothers, were the founders of the Luso-Brasileira cannery and the Madrugada Company in Olha. Daughter Silvéria Saias was the last resident/owner of the vivenda and lived there with her husband and children until 1970.In 2000, the municipality of Olhão acquired the building and the now dilapidated ruin of the vivenda has become something of a landmark along the busy N125, partly due to the striking graffiti.This villa is a combination of Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau and expresses the well-being of the bourgeois family at that time, especially through the square tower with widening, which ends in an exaggerated spire. In the main construction of the building, the 3 floors are separated by narrow strips of Art Nouveau tiling, which give the beautifully framed windows a distinction per floor and per facade surface.The upper linked lowered pointed arch windows are divided into small colored glass surfaces via metal frames, allowing the sunlight to enter in a structured manner and in the most beautiful colors. Special are the dominant stone frames around the windows and the metal edges along the roofs that are reminiscent of oriental lacework.The building stood on a plinth that connected to the ground level at the front via steps, but which has now been completely demolished to create more space around it. The decay and demolition work have left the building in the neglected and deplorable condition it is in at the moment.The Graffiti:Urban Artist Dário Silva from Olhão, signs his work as Sen. He started with graffiti at the age of 13. In the beginning, graffiti art was still illegal, but today many graffiti are legal and are authorized by the municipality or by the owners. He also paints murals for commercial spaces to order and on canvas. He is setting up a Graffiti Museum on Rua do Caminho de Ferro in OlhãoIn many of his compositions he combines lettering with figures reminiscent of animation. Other murals indicate a more realistic drawing, such as portraits. Usually in a big explosion of color.Grafitti: @SENPhoto 1:@Markus Lüske
Bairro de Casas Economicas para Pescadores 1945/49 - architect Inácio Peres Fernandes
Due to the lack of housing felt throughout the country, a joint initiative by the State, through the office of the General Directorate of Urbanization Services, with the Junta Central das Casas dos Pescadores, for the construction of Neighborhoods of Economical Houses in main fishing centers, in the case of the Algarve, Portimão and Olhão, as well as in the its satellite villages, Ferragudo and Fuseta. The neighborhood was located to the northwest of the town, where it had a reserved place in the Urban Plan.To the North of the new port and industrial area of the town, to allow proximity between housing and work, for its inhabitants. Part of the streets and others characteristics had to comply with the guidelines already defined in the plan (UALG File).The responsible architect was Inácio Peres Fernandes – as for the other three fishing neighborhoods in the Algarve. In charge of designing a huge neighborhood in Olhão, in 1945, the installation of 2480 families in 1240 homes, supported by a church, schools, Casa dos Pescadores and shopping areas. However, they were only built 120 homes, with four types, ranging from one to three floors.They shared its characteristics with the neighborhoods of Portimão and Ferragudo, differentiating by the terraces with platibandas, Moorish-inspired chimneys and the arched stairs that marked the entrance to the houses.@Ricardo AgaresPhotograph: John Shepherd a.o.
Former "Siroco" Hotel
The former 'Siroco' Hotel is currently a collection of buildings consisting of three (residential) blocks of multi-family homes. Inspired by examples of the 'Modern Movement'. In principle designed (the first two blocks) and built as 'Hotel Siroco' with an urban and architectural appearance in a peripheral location.The blocks were designed as large residential structures with a capacity (84 rental units per block), based on the repetition of minimal residential cells (T1 with 'kitchenette') accessible via a long interior galleries and a central vertical access core.Collective facilities (in disrepair) such as the garden with swimming pool, the communal areas and the terraces with shop/restaurant.
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.
Chalé João Lúcio - 1916
Chalé João Lúcio is located in a pine forest called Pinheiros de Marim, next to the Olhão campsite.João Lúcio Pousão Pereira was born in Olhão in 1880 into a family of intellectuals. His poetry first appeared in print when he was just 12 years old, and he has since worked on various publications throughout his life. He wrote three books, but it was the second, 'O meu Algarve', published in 1905, that made him one of the Algarve's most famous poets.He was by all accounts a very sensitive and articulate man, and with a twist at the end of his bushy mustache he certainly had style. After studying law in Coimbra, he returned to the Algarve where his poetic style of speech made him famous for his ability to captivate the court and he is still considered one of the most illustrious lawyers in the region.João Lúcio Pousão Pereira was also a well-traveled man, who visited many European countries with his family and even went to Morocco. But his life was also marked by moments of tragedy. They say that it was the death of his son in his youth that made him want to seek isolation and build this rather eccentric building in this forest of pine trees.In 1916 he started building the 'symbolist' Chalé do Marim, a villa hidden in the pine forest of Quinta de Marim. It is a quadrangular building with three floors, without front or back. It consists of four entrances, each with its own meaning, distributed over the four cardinal directions.The staircase (4 different ones) represents fire, air, earth and water.Each interior room has a certain symbolism (expressed in the ornaments) and corresponds to a poem.Because of its exoterism, it is considered a prime example of Symbolist Architecture in Portugal (there is only one example left in Portugal, Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra).It is located next to the Olhão campsite and is currently in use by the Ecoteca de Olhão. Some of the poet's personal belongings and various documentation have been preserved, which are on display and accessible to the public, for anyone who wants to know more. Definitely worth a visit because of its architectural beauty, uniqueness and natural environment.
Centro de Interpretaçao do Parque Natural da Ria Formosa. 1991 - architect Sérgio Infante (SIGERP)
Like a White Castle, this Centro de Interpretaçao do Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, together with the park headquarters, is located on a small hill hidden among the pine trees. The center offers information about nature in the Ria Formosa area. When you enter the building you come into a large hall, where natural light is spread through glass skylights - in a stepped pyramid-shape structure. The rhythm of the continuous columns in the hall give you a classic feeling, as if you are entering a religious space. The architect of the complex is Sérgio Infante.The hall is the connection between the office spaces and the exhibition center with an auditorium, various exhibition spaces, a catering area (with outdoor terrace) and the stairs to the viewpoint in the white tower, where you can overlook he nature reserve up to Armona. The building has a 'structuralist’ frame in which it appears as if similar elements are linked together around larger spaces. The light enters through sleekly designed 'cobogos' whose earthy color creates a nice contrast in the white facades. The architectural details have been applied with attention and the wooden cladding on the inside refers to the color scheme on the outside. Carefully integrated into the green environment in a contemporary design language. The use of materials contrasts with the surroundings but naturally blends in and refers to the white city of Olhão which is only a little further away.
Tidal Mill Moinho do Maré / Quinta de Marim
In other times, when energy sources were scarce and limited only to muscle power, wind and current, tidal mills had a major advantage over other forms of energy: their constancy and predictability. There are two daily tides that guarantee approximately 4 hours of grinding. They were built in estuaries on low land and in sheltered areas where the water could be dammed. The first known tidal mill appeared in the 17th century in southern France. Through the ages expanded throughout Europe.Tidal mills are structures that take advantage of the difference in water levels between high- and low tides and were used to grind grains, namely corn and wheat, and convert them into flour. These are inventions of medieval technology, which testify to man's desire to use new forms of energy to his advantage: tidal energy.There were about three dozen tidal mills in the Ria Formosa. Currently there is only one operating in the Algarve, the Quinta de Marim tidal mill, in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, owned by the Institute for Nature Conservation.@Jose Costa

District the 18e May / SAAL district next to the cemetery.-architect Manuel Dias
Multi-family homes. Government Promotion of Economic Housing (FFH / Operation SAAL). A large complex consisting of multi-family homes of two to four floors that form open blocks. Including public public facility (soccer field/playground)This program sought to define an action policy for Housing, aimed at the most needy populations, but with the capacity for self-organization, granting the State help in the implementation of new relocation neighborhoods, infrastructures, technical support and financing; the Local Ambulatory Support Service (SAAL) presupposed either the assessment of potential locations for 'self-construction' operations and the possibility of a credit system granted by the FFH to groups of residents or cooperatives.The preparation of technical personnel to manage the local, unemployed, or volunteer labor, to form Construction, Sanitation and Urbanization Brigades.After the II Provisional Government took office, the architect Nuno Teotónio Pereira develops the 'Interpretive Study of the Objectives to Pursue through the SAAL', in which it is established that the support given by the FFH, extended to the entire national territory, excluded the areas of the Integrated Plans, under its responsibility (Monte da Caparica, Zambujal, Setúbal, Aveiro, Matosinhos, Guimarães).It's always a shame that so many balconies have been 'closed', resulting in a large part of the visual 'spaciousness' being lost.

Food square Ria Formosa shopping center
The tent landscape at the top of the Ria Shopping shopping center still exists, but unfortunately it has lost its function as a 'food square'.As a cover for the food square, it had the appearance of a large circus tent with its masts, steel cables and interconnected domes. It was a large covered outdoor terrace under a tent roof, with glass walls that gave shelter from rain and wind.It also had an uncovered outdoor terrace with a nice view over sub-urban Olhão. Unfortunately, the new owner of the shopping center has changed it into an AL (Alojamento Local) and the "public" character of this beautiful floor with outdoor terrace has been lost.

Chalé Saias
Chalé Saias or Villa. Saias once belonged to the Saias family has a symmetrical classical origin. In terms of architecture it reminds us of the villas of Palladio that he mostly designed for Italian landscapes.A big loss are the beautiful terracotta statues that once stood on the railings, but unfortunately were unable to escape from the hand of destruction.Photos: Lénia Medina e.o.
Home for the Elderly of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Olhão
On March 8, 1939, the Central Council of the DGEMN gave a positive advice on the approval of the project for a 'Shelter for the elderly in Olhão' by Eng. Leonel da Quina Ribeiro. This advice follows the previous rejection of the first version of the project, which was submitted to the council and was considered by the council to be architecturally incomplete. As for the reinforced concrete roof terrace, which is considered 'inappropriate'. In the technical opinion of the services of the department. The commission defends this, because it is intended for Olhão: ' if there is a place in the whole country where such coverage should be admitted, then Olhão is precisely that place'The construction of the 'magnificent building of Mendicidade', now the seat of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Olhão, is presented as an example of the participation of private individuals in the 'official construction efforts' that characterized the period between 1947 and 1952 in publications of official propaganda.
Multipurpose Welfare Center / Nursery Maria Helena Rufino Rua Dâmaso da Encarnação - architects Manuel Laginha and Rogerio Martin 1952/58
This beautiful building is designed by the architects Manuel Laginha and Rogerio Martins (from 1952-1958) as 'Centro de Assistência Social Polivalente' is mainly determined by the large building block facing the street, consisting of a fixed grid in a fixed measurement system.The building looks like a blocks box, where pieces have been removed. In the resulting open space - an empty space over 2 floors - is marked by slender concrete columns, it seems as if the ramp is floating and the canopy is connected to the ceiling by two 'wires'.The loggia-like outdoor space where the ramp lands is afterwards closed with window frames. As a result of which the subtile surface division with sun shade panels and the spatial play of open- and closed parts unfortunately has been lost.The building stands tough like a beautiful horse with slender front legs. A beauty that despite all the less careful interventions, has survived in time.Photographs: Jose Rosa Gonçalves, John Shepherd and Ana Ricardo Infante

Neighborhood of Housing for the Poor Classes - 28 de Setembro - architects António Gomez Egea and Luís Guedes - 1946/49
The '28 de Setembro Neighborhood' appears through Decree-Law no. 34,486, which proposedthe construction of 5000 houses for poor families across the country. The homes were intended for the population who did not have access to 'Economic Houses', for the inhabitants of slums, such as the “Barraquinhas” neighborhood in Olhão, for those who would have been displaced by urbanization works or works of public interest, where they are located. those affected by the demolition of some houses in the center of Olhão, in compliance with the preliminary plan.In the specific case of Olhão, it was intended for the entire population who lived in overcrowded or unhealthy housing, as happened on the 'islands' and other places already mentioned.The project was handed over to architects António Gomez Egea and Luís Guedes, and was approved in 1946, the year construction of the neighborhood began. This consists of 300 single-story dwellings, 60 of type A and 240 of type B but, in the original concept, three types of dwellings were foreseen: type A, with two bedrooms, type B, with three bedrooms and type C, with four rooms.The latter represented 10% of the dwellings – 30 dwellings –, not exceeding the paper format due to costs, (as it has two floors), having been replaced by type B houses. Another change to the initial project was the inclusion of 'Balloon” chimneys, at the request of the City Council, thus fulfilling the neighborhood's use of regional elements, which already included roof terraces with plaitbandas and other regional elements from the initial project, inspired by the work of Eugénio Correia.The neighborhood was located to the northwest of the town, next to the Bairro de Casas Económicasof the CPCP (1938). In the layout plan (fig. 74), we can see the existing housing in the 'Bairro Operário', as well as the layout of the new neighborhood in the shape of a diamond, defined by roads. The streets were tree-lined, so the free space between houses and available throughout the neighborhood was a great contrast to the town center, whose density was 180 inhabitants per hectare.At the road intersection to the south, there was, in the proposal, an area destined for commerce with buildings occupying the limits of that area, opening a square for the neighborhood. The Santa Casa da Misericórdia building would later be built here.Along the municipal road, which runs towards Estoi, collective housing buildings were planned, which were also never implemented. The only support equipment for the neighborhood that was built was the school building planned on the west side of the neighborhood, with the project adapted to regional characteristics by Inácio Peres Fernandes, once again at the request of the City Council.The neighborhood was officially completed in February 1949 and only opened in 1951, probably due to waterproofing work, small repairs, whitewashing and painting carried out after 1949 and, also, due to the fact that in 1950, of the 300 homes, only 25 had piped water and access to the electricity network. Another 4 only had access to water and a further 45 only had electricity, that is, 226 homes still did not have access to any public network.
Neighborhood of Economic Houses / Nossa Senhora da Assunção. - architect Eugénio Correia - 1935/38
In 1935, architect Eugénio Correia designed a neighborhood of affordable houses for the town of Olhão, in the General Directorate of Buildings and National Monuments in Lisbon, which would be the first to emerge from a state initiative, in the Algarve region. The construction of the new neighborhood was part of Decree-Law no. 23,052, of September 23, 1933, referring to economic houses, and was subsidized by the Ministry of Public Works and the Portuguese Consórcio de Conservas de Peixe, intended for industry workers. of preserves from Olhão.The neighborhood located to the northwest of the town was opened in 1938, containing sixty-six single-story houses, differentiated into two types, with two or three bedrooms. Its distance from the urban center of the town is mainly due to the ideology of the Estado Novo, which defended the right to family property, refusing the ideas of collective housing for workers, justifying, therefore, the need for larger plots of land for implement this neighborhood, which functioned as an autonomous complex in the urban context, without connection to the existing urban fabric of the town of Olhão at the time of its construction.The houses, praised for their modernism, were considered the best housing complex in the town, by architect João António Aguiar (author of the Olhão plan). They were, however, in line with the region's lifestyle due to the roof terrace, used for drying various foods, and their rear yard, which allowed them to be used as a vegetable garden.The corporatist propaganda of the Estado Novo and the canning industry used the neighborhoods of Olhão and Portimão to promote their social initiatives in the publication “O Livro de Ouro das Conservas Portuguesas de Peixe”, by IPCP, where the habit of offering a housing for workers who stood out for their work and who were the oldest in age and profession (IPCP, 1938).The authorization for the construction of the neighborhood comes as a result of contempt, attempted theft and assaults on factories and industrialists, reported in 1933, the year in which, as already mentioned, there was a spike in lack of work for the working population. However, this initiative was, frankly, insufficient to solve the housing problem in Olhão, which did not only affect the population of the canning industry, which would lead to other public housing initiatives in Olhão.
