The Faro bandstand, built circa 1893. Until 2004, there was a very popular café ("As Pirâmides" - The Pyramids) next to it, but the local council decided it had to be demolished to make way to… well, an open space.

Um passeio no parque sempre me chama a atenção e desperta o interesse para as coisas mais belas. Em um espaço preservado, totalmente planejado para ser assim, a natureza cresce, se multiplica, morre, apodrece... Vive.

I just learned what a coreto is called in English (after nearly 20 years of speaking the language fluently):

Bandstand.

I feel both smart and dumb all at once.

Many villages, towns and cities in Portugal have a bandstand, usually built during the late XIX Century or the first quarter of the XX Century. Even if many of these structures have very little (or no) use nowadays, the truth is that the Portuguese bandstands have a certain charm.

This one is from Alter do Chão, and I quite like it - the Barreto Caldeira Square would not be the same without it.
