Casa das Figuras, Historical building in central Faro, Portugal.
The main facade features two winged dragons with human faces, two dolphins, and a black warrior head with intricate decorations.
Built in the 17th century as a granary for Solar da Horta do Ourives, the structure displays Brazilian decorative art influences in its foundation.
Casa das Figuras stands within the Teatro Municipal de Faro complex and houses the Southern Classical Orchestra since 1978.
The building is located at Avenida José Maria Nunes 8000-145, with external parking spaces available for visitors.
The facade sculptures share similarities with those at Celeiro de São Francisco, both commissioned by judge Veríssimo de Mendonça Manuel.
