Building of Public Interest -
Located in the corner of D. Francisco Gomes Square.
It was recently restored to accommodate Fidelidade Insurance Company, being one of the finest examples in urban renovation.
It’s a two floor building, dating from the 17th century, with overhanging eaves and an impressive hipped roof. The noble level features balcony windows with wrought iron railings except on the main facade that features a sill window, very common in Faro.
