Building of Public Interest -
Located in Santo Antonio Street.
This plain architecture style building belonged, in the early 19th century, to Gil Vaz Lobo Freire Pantoja.
In 1733 his daughter married his cousin Damião António de Lemos Faria e Castro (a notorious Algarve historian).
The Pantojas coat of arms appears on the main facade and in one of the coffered ceilings in the main floor lounge rooms.
The building housed the Maritime Museum in 1917 now housing Club Farense (a local club).
In 2005 it was temporarily used as Commission Comity office for the event “FARO, National Culture Capital 2005”.
