The Casino Oceano building is located in the urban area of Buarcos e São Julião, in the city of Figueira da Foz. It is situated in a city environment, surrounded by other buildings, on a commercial street.
Inaugurated in 1898, Casino Oceano was conceived as a leisure and attraction space for visitors of that era. It represents a period in the life of Figueira da Foz, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, marking the memory of a city with an elegant atmosphere. It is recognized for its municipal interest.
This building stands out as a notable example of 19th-century eclecticism. Its design harmonizes various influences, demonstrating an expressive mastery of this artistic current. Classical elements are observed, such as Ionic and Corinthian pilasters, semicircular arches, shell-shaped decorative motifs, and oculus windows in the upper register, contributing to the rhythm and composition of the facades.
It is important to know that, at the moment, the former Casino Oceano building is closed due to ongoing works.
