Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.Most people come to Faro and never look up.Join Chris de Oliveira — co-founder of The Modernist Faro and The Modernist Weekend — for a two-hour walk through the city's streets to uncover one of southern Portugal's best-kept architectural secrets: a remarkable concentration of modernist buildings that emerged in the mid-20th century, quietly shaping the identity of this small Algarve capital.This is not a standard city tour. It is a guided journey through the ideas, the architects, and the stories behind Faro's modernist landscape — designed for anyone who looks at a building and wants to know why it was built the way it was.Along the way, you will encounter some of the city's most compelling examples:Casa Verde — a pastel Art Deco landmark whose geometric elegance speaks to a moment when Faro was quietly reinventing itself.The Modernist — designed by Lisbon architect Joel Santana, a building that embodies the core modernist conviction that form and function are inseparable.Edifício Tridente — one of Manuel Gomes da Costa's most distinctive urban interventions, its bold presence a testament to the ambition that defined his approach to the city.Edifício Chelsea — another signature work by MGC, where the dialogue between structure, facade and street reveals the full sophistication of his modernist vocabulary.Casa Gago — a creation of Manuel Gomes da Costa, the Algarve's most significant modernist architect, whose work runs as a thread through this entire edition of The Modernist Weekend.And many more buildings...More than a walk, this is an invitation to see Faro differently. With Chris as your guide, you will leave with a new understanding of the architects, the ambitions, and the ideas that shaped this unique chapter of Portuguese architecture — and a very different relationship with the streets you thought you knew.Friday 6 November · 09h30 · Meeting point : Café Aliança, Faro ·Duration : 2 hours · 20€ · in englishGetting thereParking Marina — 2 min walkParking Ponthina — 5 min walkFree Parking Largo São Francisco — 7-10 min walk https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/958b09b0-ba3b-11f1-a9fb-b7875b1c57f7-rimg-w685-h740-dc0878c8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/95acc280-ba3b-11f1-a9fb-b7875b1c57f7-rimg-w493-h740-dc68a8d8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/95c0bfb0-ba3b-11f1-a9fb-b7875b1c57f7-rimg-w493-h740-dcb8d8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/95f8bfa0-ba3b-11f1-a9fb-b7875b1c57f7-rimg-w493-h740-dc58a8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/96346910-ba3b-11f1-a9fb-b7875b1c57f7-rimg-w493-h740-dc2868a8-gmir.jpg About The Modernist WeekendThe Modernist Weekend is an independent event organised by The Modernist Faro, rooted in a commitment to architectural knowledge and heritage conservation.All proceeds go directly towards the event and raising awareness of the Algarve's modernist heritage.The Modernist Faro — themodernist.ptPhotos credit : Aymeric Warmé-JanvilleAgenda🕑: 09:30 AM - 11:30 AMThe Modernist architecture of Faro -Walking tour (1,5hours) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/faro/the-modernist-architecture-of-faro-guided-tour-2-hours/100002000455702858 - **Event Categories**: meetups, art, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Café Aliança - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Faro - **state**: FA - **country**: Portugal - **location**: Café Aliança - **lat**: 37.0161162 - **long**: -7.934621300000001 - **full address**: Café Aliança, 7 Rua Dom Francisco Gomes, Faro, Portugal ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Modernist architecture of Faro -Guided tour (2 hours) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/849a3465e74e074c5dc178df3fd70253cebb0613786650e42801da64b4c17f73-rimg-w1200-h801-dc2878b8-gmir.jpg?v=1790490071 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Modernist architecture of Faro -Guided tour (2 hours) being held? - **A:** The Modernist architecture of Faro -Guided tour (2 hours) takes place on Fri, 06 Nov, 2026 at 09:30 am to Fri, 06 Nov, 2026 at 11:30 am at Cafe Alianca, 7 Rua Dom Francisco Gomes, Faro, Portugal. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Modernist architecture of Faro -Guided tour (2 hours)? - **A:** The Modernist architecture of Faro -Guided tour (2 hours) is organized by The Modernist Faro. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

They fell in love with Faro, a city in the Algarve, and decided to promote its Modernist architecture.In 2021, they opened The Modernist hotel in Faro (www.themodernist.pt). Everything in the hotel, from design to production, is proudly Portuguese and mostly sourced from the Algarve, just 100 kilometers away. This unique concept quickly became famous for Architecture Travel in Europe, getting featured in Forbes, Monocle, National Geographic, Elle Decor.They created a Modernist architecture tour book of Faro to teach people about the Algarve's architecture. Now, they're planning the second Modernist Weekend, a three-day event celebrating Modernist architecture through art, tours, open houses, and networking." } ] } ] ```
