Detached House, Capelo, Ilha do Faial

There are places made of stone, yet they hold much more than just walls. They hold stories, encounters, conversations and memories of those who have passed through them. In the heart of Capelo lie the ruins of an old tavern, a place that was once part of the parish’s daily life and community. Within these walls, there are surely many stories from times gone by, of people who met there, socialised and shared moments that are now part of the community’s collective memory. Time has passed and the old tavern is no longer in operation, but the place continues to retain its identity and significance. Now there is an opportunity to breathe new life into this space by restoring it; it could be transformed into a home, a tourist attraction, a restaurant or another project that preserves the identity and history of this place. For those familiar with Capelo, this could be much more than simply buying a ruin. It could be the chance to recover a piece of the parish’s history and transform an old place into a new chapter in its story.
