Houses of the Alentejo The lands of the Alentejo, a region of hills, dry plains and little in the way of relief rainfall, are abundant in natural resources. Évora is largely formed of granite. In Portalegre, Elvas, Arronches and Assumar we find schist and in Beja, clay. In the municipalities of Estremoz, Borba and Vila Viçosa there is limestone, marble and plentiful water. The buildings blend into the landscape as if they were part of it, making use of materials and solutions adapted to the climate and forming naturally balanced groups. We can identify two types of architecture: the erudite, visible in the manor houses of great estates and in the noble houses in urban centres; and the popular, which can be seen in the oldest row of houses in the towns and villages, and which are an integral part of the traditional heritage. The rural house, composed of a single storey, is regarded as the most typical and best known in the culture of the Alentejo. Its plan is simple and rectangular, its thick walls are whitewashed, with few openings (usually just a door and a window) and featuring painted bands across the base, predominantly ochre and blue. Traditionally built in taipa (rammed earth), a wise choice that allows heat to be conserved in the winter and maintains freshness in the summer. An enormous, eye- catching chimney, of Arabic influence, is a favoured spot inside the kitchen and provides an exit route for the smoke from the hearth that warms the cold nights and cures the homemade smoked sausages. Houses of the Algarve The Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal, at the far south-western corner of Europe, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean but enjoying a temperate climate thanks to the strong Mediterranean influence, has three distinct geographic zones: Litoral, Barrocal and Serra. This geomorphological diversity gives it an individuality and originality that are also reflected in the traditional architecture, both in terms of materials and techniques, and in the forms of the different types of dwelling that, in turn, incorporate the cultural influences contributed by the region’s history. The houses of the Algarve display a variety of roofing, with a mix of skillion or dual-pitched plus terrace roofs, as is common in Barrocal, just terrace roofs, like the well-known houses of the old town centre of Olhão, or hipped roofs, known locally as tesoura (scissor) roofs, examples of which can be seen in Tavira. They are notable for their particular taste for decorative details. The iconic ornate chimneys, the colourful platbands with geometric designs, the whitewash, the bright colours framing doors and windows, the balconies, the polychrome scagliola and the latticed doors are just some of the marks of the Algarvians’ characteristic decorative sense that await the gaze of the curious visitor.

Casas do AlentejoO Alentejo, região de montes e planícies secas e pouco relevo orográfico, é abundante em recursos naturais que constituem os seus terrenos. Évora é constituída, em grande parte, por granito. Em Portalegre, Elvas, Arronches e Assumar encontramos os xistos e em Beja, os barros. Nos concelhos de Estremoz, Borba e Vila Viçosa há calcário, mármore e água em abundância.As construções integram-se na paisagem como se dela fizessem parte, recorrendo a materiais e soluções adaptados ao clima e formando conjuntos naturalmente equilibrados. Podemos identificar dois tipos de arquitetura: a erudita, visível nos solares de grandes herdades e nas casas nobres dos centros urbanos; e a popular, que se observa no casario mais antigo das urbes, e que é parte integrante do património tradicional.A casa do meio rural, composta por apenas um piso térreo, é considerada a mais típica e mais conhecida da cultura alentejana. A sua planta é simples e retangular e as paredes maciças são pintadas de cal branca, com poucas aberturas (habitualmente apenas uma porta e uma janela) e coloridos rodapés pintados, predominantemente, de ocre e de azul. Tradicionalmente construída em taipa, solução sábia para conservar o calor no inverno e a frescura no verão, salta à vista a enorme chaminé, de influência árabe, por onde saem os fumos da lareira que aquecem as noites frias e curtem os enchidos caseiros, sendo também espaço privilegiado no interior da cozinha.

Casas do AlgarveO Algarve, região portuguesa mais meridional, correspondendo ao extremo sudoeste europeu, banhado pelo Oceano Atlântico, mas de clima temperado por fortes influências mediterrânicas, apresenta três zonas geográficas distintas: Litoral, Barrocal e Serra. Esta sua diversidade geomorfológica confere-lhe uma individualidade e originalidade que também se reflete na arquitetura tradicional, quer no que se refere a materiais e técnicas, quer às formas dos diferentes tipos de habitação que, por sua vez, também incorporaram as influências culturais que a história da região foi propiciando. As casas algarvias, que podem ser de cobertura mista com telhado de uma ou duas águas e açoteia como é frequente no Barrocal, só de açoteia como as bem conhecidas casas do antigo núcleo urbano de Olhão, ou com telhados de quatro águas, também conhecidos por telhados de tesoura, de que Tavira é exemplo, têm de assinalável o peculiar gosto pelos detalhes decorativos.As icónicas chaminés rendilhadas, as coloridas platibandas com desenhos geométricos, o branco da cal, as cores fortes a emoldurar portas e janelas, os mirantes, a policromia das escaiolas, as portas de reixas são algumas das marcas do característico sentido decorativo dos algarvios que se oferecem ao olhar curioso do visitante.
