About Casa das Figuras

Other Buildings, Industrial Facilities, Cultural, Theatres And Entertainments, Interesting Places, Other Theatres

A Casa das Figuras é um edifício "notável" à entrada de Faro cuja fachada ostenta uma exuberante ornamentação (dois monstros encimados por uma figura humana) em massa, dos meados do século XVIII.
O edifício funcionava antigamente como celeiro do adjacente Solar da Horta do Ourives (ou Solar do Capitão Mor), integrando com este, hoje, o complexo do Teatro das Figuras (tendo a este último emprestado o nome), sede do Teatro Municipal de Faro.

De registar as semelhanças entre as figuras deste edifício e as que se podem encontrar no Celeiro de São Francisco, tendo sido todas elas mandadas executar pelo Desembargador Veríssimo de Mendonça Manuel.
