Reason 1 – To discover its age-old multicultural history<\/h2>\n\n

Faro’s history is reflected in its architecture, which bears witness to a rich multicultural past. We were fascinated by the Moorish and Roman remains dating back to the 13th century, in particular the Roman wall that still surrounds part of the town. You can also admire magnificent buildings such as theArco da Vila<\/em>, the majestic gateway to the old town. We learned that most of the remarkable buildings we can see today date from the second half of the 18th century. They were rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1755. <\/p>\n\n

We recommend that you take an interest in Faro’s rich cultural, historical and architectural heritage and visit its must-see monuments during your visit!<\/p>\n\n
