'Beauty and the Beast' - Olhão

Two buildings on the Avenida da República in Olhão. The left building (Al-Hain), with brutalist features, was built in the 1980s when "metropolitan" thinking was approaching the old centre of Olhão and succeeded the church tower in height with 8 residential floors and two commercial floors. Designer: Sr. Renato Lopes de Almeida. Constructor: Chico Areias (Francisco da Graça Mendonça)
