MOMO in Faro
MOMO stands for Modernist Movement. As a candidate for the Portuguese Capital of Culture 2027, Faro wanted to present itself as the city of Modernist Architecture in Southern Europe. Faro has about 500 buildings with a unique modernist style that are highly adapted to the climate of the Algarve.
Unfortunately Faro was not "one of the last nominated candidates", but the result was a nice brochure with an overview of the influences of the Modern Movement in Faro from around 1925.

The buildings and houses of interest are mostly built between the '50s and '70s.
