Building of Public Interest -
Located near Chapel of Sto. Antonio do Alto.
It was built between 1915 and 1925 commissioned by João António Júdice Fialho.
The project’s authorship, dating 1913, is accredited to Manuel Joaquim Norte Júnior (1878-1962), and displays characteristics from the revivalist period and influences from French classic art.
Around 1960 the palace was purchased by the Diocese of the Algarve in order to install a College being the project’s architect, Gomes da Costa. Since then the building houses the College of Nossa Senhora do Alto.
