Eclectico, Romantico & Revivalista in Olhão

The ARU plan (Urban Rehabilitation Area) of Olhão distinguishes 10 building typologies from 'Rural Popular' to 'Patrimonio Cultural'. We show some buildings of the most striking typologies in Olhão:

Eclectico, Romantico & Revivalista

The facades are often urban with a symmetrical distribution of the facade openings around the entrance portal in the middle. High and common window/door openings with balcony windows/doors on the top floor. Many decorations in eclectic styles such as: neoclassical - neo-baroque and romantic. Refined details with bluestone and/or tile work. Straight or curved lintels. Usually profiled and with decoration in the middle. Beautifully detailed iron railings at balcony windows and at console balconies.

Mouldings and cornices on the facade or at the bottom of the 'platibanda' decorated with neo-baroque, simple geometric or vegetal motifs that sometimes indicate the front or the middle.

In special cases: pilasters, half pilasters, corner stones with worked frames/profiles and sometimes rounded corners.
