As a host of the Terrats en Cultura, Santi has an anecdote for every year. He would highlight two: the first was the entrance and exit of the play "Si tinguéssim més coca et demostraria com t'estimo" which sought to simulate a robbery. In those days, the roftop could only be accessed by a small ladder or by jumping from the rooftop to a lower roof. The director of the play, looking for the best way to stage the escape almost broke a leg. The second anecdote is the year of "Rita" when they had the house completely under construction: no floor, no windows, half-finished walls... and between the first and second day of the show, a flood fell. Seeing in photos how it turned out to be a beautiful theatre set, they were amazed at how the Coincidences team managed to make it look so fantastic.

Oriol especially remembers the Terrats en Cultura with Juan Carlos Lérida and the cook Marina Monsonís that, while he was dancing, explained her very interesting philosophy linked with her fishermen's family and she talked about those fish that maybe no one wants to buy in a store but that fishermen catch at sea and then cook delicious food. And while she was cooking the fish stew, Juan Carlos interacted by dancing with the food, for example, putting a wood table on the ground and a cloth on top of the garlic to chop them directly with his feet. And in the end, which was wonderful, all the spectators ate that dish cooked with fish and he has in his memory the picture of all of them poured and eating straight from the casserole.

After the Christian reconquest in 1249, the Arab fortress was adapted to Castle. In the 18th century, after some adaptations to the space, the Kingdom of Algarve Artillery Regiment was installed. During the centuries in which it had a military role, its privileged location next to the Ria Formosa was fundamental in the defense of the city. The Castle loses its military functions and the Army alienates the building in 1904. Here began to emerge rope, carpentry, blacksmith and metalwork workshops and a distillery factory. Between 1968 and 1992, the Fábrica da Cerveja was partly occupied by Cervisul - a beer company, and partly by the Faro Infantry Regiment. Currently, the building belongs to the Municipality of Faro and hosts several cultural and artistic activities. In 2014, the Faro Musicians' Recreational and Cultural Association moved to a part of the building. Being an imposing building located in the old town, at its top it is possible to have a 365-degree view over Faro.

Built on the site where there was a Roman Temple, a Visigothic Church and a Mosque, it is a building of medieval origin that reports to the parish church of Santa Maria, built in 1251. In 1596 it was set on fire and sacked by Count Essex's English troops. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the Sé Church was enriched with various works of gilded woodcarving and tile panels, with an emphasis on the Baroque organ built in Lisbon, around 1715. The damage caused in the earthquakes of 1722 and 1755 forced the carrying out of several construction campaigns. In addition to their various religious functions, bells were used to signal the hours and important moments in the life of the city and the country. Warning signals were emitted from the bell tower in case of fire, natural catastrophes and possible invasions. From the top of the unfinished medieval bell tower, we have an unobstructed view over the Ria Formosa, its islands and the city.

The Jan Prinsschool has a very smart solution for the lack of space in Rotterdam’s city centre: their schoolyard is on the roof. This gives the children a safe place to play as well as a view straight into the Market Hall. In 2010, the innovative building was presented with the Rotterdam Architecture Award. During festival Rotterdamse Dakendagen in 2019, the schoolyard was transformed into a Freerun Dakpark (Freerun Rooftop Park). Freerunning is a sport in which the whole city becomes your gym, playground and territory: all benches, corners, railings and rooftops are used for spectacular flips and jumps.

The best story Quim has on a rooftop is when he premiered "La Llista" on Terrats en Cultura. To begin with, he fondly remembers that their dressing room was the home of one of the neighbors in the building, a very attentive lady who left the door of her house open for them to enter freely. On the roof he remembers a team meeting before starting where everyone was around him and listening to him, with a lot of predisposition, about what he was going to do that evening, he remembers a lot the energy of the Coincidčncies' team and how they accompanied him throughout the process. It also came to his mind how many familiar faces attended the show and it made him think that nowhere else would allow them to cross but the rooftop. He remembers with grace how entertaining it was to rehearse with Carme from different buildings and that to communicate they had to shout from one rooftop to another.

The flat rooftop has no permanent public function, but was used extensively during festival Rotterdamse Dakendagen, to show the potential of rooftops.

It is located on the walls built in the 9th century, probably on top of a pre-existing late-Roman wall, on the initiative of Ben Bekr, the Muslim governor of the city of Ossonoba. As the walls were bathed by the waters of the Ria Formosa, this lookout place, where the soldiers' patrol path passed, was fundamental in protecting the city and in controlling those arriving by sea. Inaugurated in 1991, Galeria Arco has hosted over the years individual and collective exhibitions by several contemporary national and foreign artists. It gained greater notoriety as the Toy Museum Nucleus, until the end of 2009. It reopened to once again receive temporary exhibitions within the scope of the Allgarve Program. In 2011, the Municipality of Faro gave the space to three local non-profit associations (ArQuente, ALFA, and ATAF) to use it and to develop their activities. Today it continues to host exhibitions, concerts, theatre, conferences, and other cultural events. From here it's possible to see the arrival and departure of boats that cross the Ria Formosa carrying from fishermen to tourists.

It was built next to a medieval watchtower and most likely dates back to the second half of the 15th century. In the 16th century, it underwent some renovations and the lower part of the watchtower came to be used as a chancel. The 1755 earthquake damaged this temple, and interventions were carried out: the reconstruction of the pediment of the main façade and the opening of 4 windows. It is worth noting the artistic heritage that is found inside, as well as the spectacular view over the city, provided by the medieval tower. The Ermida de Santo António do Alto is located in an elevated place from where you can see the sea, the city and the mountains. The strategic importance of this hill allowed the control of the ports and defense of the city, from prehistoric times, through Roman times and especially in the medieval and modern times.

Being able to see the show on a privileged roof in the center most definetly made it the best scenery Las Glorias has ever had: they started on the roof, it started to rain and so they had to end up at the staircase. But it didn't matter, because that was pure spectacle.
