Building
on
Rua
da
Trindade,
nº
26
to
34
Casa
do
Ferreira
das
Tabuletas
Pombaline
multi-family
residential
and
commercial
building
with
a
rectangular
plan,
differentiated
coverage
with
gabled
roofs,
with
four
registers
and
four
floors.
Main
facade
covered
in
figurative
tiles,
with
first
register
and
defining
elements
in
stonework,
with
three
panels,
with
the
central
one
raised
and
topped
by
a
pediment.
The
enrichments
to
the
Pombaline
model,
common
to
other
buildings
of
the
time,
include
the
introduction
of
the
running
and
wavy
balustrade
of
the
third
register,
generating
a
noble
floor
marking
and
the
replacement
of
the
attics
with
a
raised
central
body
crowned
by
a
pediment.
The
figurative
tile
painted
by
"Ferreira
das
Tabuletas"
falls
within
the
romantic
approach
to
popular
and
picturesque
taste.
Interior
within
the
Pombaline
typology,
with
access
to
the
atrium
delimited
by
an
atrium,
from
which
you
reach
the
central
staircase,
lit
by
a
skylight,
which
connects
all
floors.
It
is
one
of
the
most
charismatic
facades
in
Lisbon,
standing
out
for
its
scenography
and
chromaticism
achieved
by
the
painting
by
Luís
Ferreira,
"Ferreira
das
Tabuletas",
in
a
dialogue
between
architecture,
painting,
and
a
vocabulary
linked
to
Masonic
ideals,
with
the
apology
of
the
figures
of
Earth,
Water,
Commerce,
Industry,
Science
and
Agriculture,
and
the
introduction
of
the
motif
of
lion
heads,
a
heraldic
symbol
of
Moreira
Garcia.
It
is
an
exaltation
of
popular
taste,
in
an
approach
to
the
arts
and
crafts
movement,
so
dear
to
the
romantic
spirit,
extremely
well
achieved.
The
building
was
built
on
one
of
the
plots
of
land
defined
by
the
expropriation
of
the
land
of
the
former
Trindade
convent,
by
the
same
owner
-
the
capitalist
Moreira
Garcia
-
who
bought
and
built
the
buildings
with
numbers
16
and
20
on
Rua
Nova
da
Trindade,
where
the
decoration
It
was
also
carried
out
by
Ferreira
das
Tabuletas,
exalting
the
values
of
Freemasonry
of
which
Moreira
Garcia
was
a
convinced
supporter,
with
the
particularity
that
here
the
decoration
is
concentrated
on
the
main
facade.
The
representation
of
the
allegorical
figures
presents
parallels
precisely
with
the
figures
that
decorated
the
garden
at
number
16
Rua
Nova
da
Trindade.
