Casa da Moura, Lagos (Algarve)

Casa da Moura is situated inside the ramparts and scarcely within 5 minutes walking distance of the town centre of Lagos and several beaches.
We Tried to include this project in the cultures that were left in this region by the moor, owing to the fact that a great part of the materials used in the construction of Casa da Moura were imported from Morocco.

The beaches around Lagos are some of the most beautiful of the Algarve, like Praia de Dona Ana, which can be reached after a 25 minutes walk from the center of the town, Praia do Camilo, a bit further on, and Meia Praia, whose sands stretch for 4 km (2.5 miles) east of Lagos. However, it is the promontory named Ponta da Piedade and sheltering the bay of Lagos which is most admired by visitors, with its caves, rocks and wonderfully transparent waters. North of Lagos, Barragem de Bravura is a water reservoir offering fine views.

Geographical position: facing the Moorish ramparts to the north and to the south Cardeal Neto Street, it is connected to the ancient Largo das Freiras (the nuns’ Square) which is part of the Nossa Senhora da Gloria Convent (or the nuns’ convent), the historic heritage of the town of Lagos, which is very much published in tourist maps and is therefore part of the walking route of many tourists.


Casa da Moura was built from an existing one using all the front parts of the building on the ground floor. Manor house with a height of 4 meters (from th floor level to the ceiling), wood-lined ceilings, wide corridors and stone and wooden floors. Its construction dates back from 1892 - it belongs to a local wealthy family. For many years it was occupied by the members of the said family. In the 1950's and 1970's it was the old headquarters of the Portuguese Legion
