Capital of the Algarve region in southern Portugal, Faro is located 300 kilometers from Lisbon and 80 kilometers from Lagos. It is a conservative city that has preserved its traditional way of life and neoclassical style. The city's Arco da Vila stands on the former site of a gate that belonged to the original Moorish people's compound. This arch leads to the old town and its beautiful cobbled streets and dilapidated facades. Founded in the 13th century, Faro's cathedral is a true historical gem. The municipal museum occupies a convent dating from the 16th century. Inside, you will find exhibits from prehistoric and medieval times as well as religious artworks. Renowned for its beauty and charm of another era, Faro's rooftops are filled with storks that delight tourists who come to enjoy the city's calm.
