Hotel do Muxito, Former hotel complex in Cruz de Pau, Portugal
Hotel do Muxito included thirteen villas, an equestrian center, a disco, and Portugal's first Olympic-sized swimming pool with a ten-meter diving platform.
The establishment opened in 1957 as a luxury resort, attracting national and international football teams before closing in 1973 due to financial difficulties.
The architectural design of the buildings incorporated influences from Portuguese colonial structures, featuring modern elements that defined 1950s construction styles.
The property's location along National Road 10 provided direct access between Lisbon and the southern regions of Alentejo and Algarve.
The complex contained artificial lakes and a small bullring within its grounds, while motor vehicles were available for guests to explore the wooded areas.
