Equipment and Infrastructures

Located on the coastal road, it is marked by the use of concrete and the emphasis on horizontality through the grid design of the façade and the flat roofs. Opening onto the Bay of Ana Chaves, the building, which has a modern appearance (the best in the city on this phase), was once the building of the former Post Office and of Information and Tourism. With a rectangle-shaped body and interesting decorative geometric grid on the façade, it was inaugurated in 1965. Project by José Pinto da Cunha and José Pereira da Costa, from 1957-62.
