Faro has one of the largest concentrations of modern architecture in South Europe. Visionary architects, most who graduated from the prestigious"Architecture School of Porto" (ESBA) came to the Algarve and brought their own spin on Bauhaus and the International Style, reworking it for the Algarve environment.

They were inspired by the Modernist mouvement led by architects like Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Faro counts today about 500 existing buildings. You will discover with this tour 2 styles of Faro Modern architecture: South Modern and Art Deco.
