Gazebo (Coreto) in Portimão, Algarve, Portugal.
This gazebo is a replica of the old one demolished in 1971 when only the base remained.
The gazebo is a structure with 11 meters high to the top of the top of the dome from wich 2.10 meters correspond to the base with 6 meters of diameter.
The color of the iron structure is dark gray and the posts that support the top will have replicas of the antique lamps.
