Vila Algarve, Heritage building in KaMpfumo district, Mozambique.

Vila Algarve is a two-storey residential house built in 1934 at the corner of Avenida Mártires da Machava and Avenida Ahmed Sekou Touré in Maputo. Its exterior is covered with azulejos, naturalistic decorated tiles from the early 20th century, combined with Historicist architecture. The building is listed as a protected heritage property.

The house was built in 1934 as a private residence and later served as the headquarters of PIDE, the secret police force during colonial rule. After Mozambique gained independence in 1975, its use for this purpose ended and the building eventually gained heritage protection status.

The azulejos on Vila Algarve are a rare surviving example of naturalistic decorated tiles from the early 20th century, set alongside Historicist architecture. The building's name, Algarve, refers to the southernmost region of Portugal, a reference to its Portuguese builders. Mozambican poet José Craveirinha wrote about his time held in this house in three of his works.

Vila Algarve sits at the corner of Avenida Mártires da Machava and Avenida Ahmed Sekou Touré, in Maputo's KaMpfumo district. The building has stood empty since independence and is now held by the Ministry of Culture, which plans a Museum of the Liberation of Mozambique there. Access is not open to visitors; check with the ministry before planning a stop.

The building has stood in pre-selection for a Maputo memorial list since 2011, and it is registered as number 31730 in the Sistema de Informação para Património Arquitectónico, a Portuguese database that also covers works in former colonies.
