Some families have been living in this neighborhood for more than three generations. Their presence in the neighborhood dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when the urban development of Miramar began. That is why its streets, structures, and people are a living history.

Its historic charm blends the old with the modern and features structures with the signatures of many families, developers, and architects from different eras.

So, if you are a fan of architecture, you will be able to appreciate a great variety of typologies and architectural styles present in the neighborhood, such as Quintas and ‘Raised Cottages’, Victorian Architecture, Gothic Resurgence, Bungalows, Spanish Revival, Art Deco, Chalets and Duplexes, and Moderne and Modern Movement. However, Miramar is much more than words can explain. Allow yourself to get to know the neighborhood and let yourself fall in love with its charm.
