Casa do Português, Cultural heritage building in Damas, Fortaleza, Brazil
The four-story concrete building features monumental arches and stands prominently on Avenida João Pessoa, marking the urban landscape of Fortaleza.
Portuguese merchant José Maria Cardoso initiated the construction in the late 1940s, with the building opening its doors on June 13, 1953.
The structure, initially named Vila Santo Antônio, represents the architectural influences of Portuguese immigrants in Brazil during the mid-twentieth century.
Located at 5094 João Pessoa Avenue, the building maintains its original exterior features while currently housing multiple residential units.
The Municipal Decree 13036 of 2012 designated this structure as protected heritage, recognizing its contribution to Fortaleza's architectural legacy.
