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.
To recreate this new Gazebo the original plants kept by the local city hall were used in order to assure that the new structure would be done exactly as the original
The old gazebo was located only a few meters away where today there´s a fountain.
