República 14

Fernando Judice

Algarve

Fernando and a group of friends brought an abandoned townhouse in Olhão back to life.

In an act of civic engagement, they transformed number 14 on Avenida da República into a vibrant cultural space with a regular programme of events. Live music, exhibitions, workshops, open-air cinema, classes, courtyard markets, a café, and a bar—there’s always something happening.

Enjoying all that República 14 has to offer also means helping to preserve a historic building that holds deep roots in the city’s identity.

A professional musician with a jazz background, former member of Trovante and Madredeus, Fernando has turned República 14 into a stage for everyone.
