Its privileged location offers direct proximity to the ocean, providing a distinct coastal environment for visitors. This position grants it natural visibility and easy access for those in the city.

Architectural Heritage

This complex is recognized as one of the most emblematic architectural ensembles in Figueira da Foz. Its design, by architect Isaías Cardoso, dates back to the 1950s. Due to its relevance and aesthetic value, the Praia-Mar Pool Complex is classified as a Property of Public Interest, highlighting its cultural and historical importance in the landscape of Portuguese architecture.

A Revitalized Space

After a period of inactivity, the Praia-Mar Pool Complex was rehabilitated and reopened to the public. This site, which has been a landmark and leisure spot in Figueira da Foz for decades, now once again offers an environment dedicated to enjoying the coastal area, under municipal management. Its reopening allowed an iconic city space to be revitalized, returning it to the community and its visitors.
