    Costa Nova's stallions, houses of colorful ribs, were born as fishing warehouses in the 19th century. Initially simple, they became decorative housing with the growth of bathing tourism. The transformation reflects the adaptation of fishing traditions to the "mode of going to the bath", marking the historical and cultural charm of the region.
