Building of Public Interest -
Located in João de Brito Vargues Street, right at one of Faro’s main entrances, the building was commissioned by the Associate Judge Veríssimo de Mendonça Manuel in the beginning of the 18th century to be used as a farming warehouse adjacent to Horta dos Ourives.
A typical single floor longitudinal plan baroque building. Its facade displays exuberant plaster ornamentation – two monsters topped by a human figure.
Presently the Orquestra Clássica do Sul is established in the building.
