Renaissance window in Travessa D. Brites
A Renaissance-style window
This delicate window was part of a 16th-century noble house in the Ribeira area of Tavira.
A slender marble mullion divides the space, and around the wooden frames are columns with finely crafted capitals and corbels supported by tiny angels. In the centre of the composition is a shrouded male face, a motif found on countless portals in Algarvian churches.
