Misericórdia Church, Silves

Highlight • Religious Site

Built in the middle of the 16th century. The portal, which is integrated into a sober facade without any other conspicuous decorative elements, has been preserved.
The interior of the single nave is kept quite simple. Only the altarpiece, to which changes were made in the 17th century, stands out from the sobriety.

Silves Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Silves Castle is an impressive medieval fortress in the Algarve, Portugal. It was originally built on an older settlement and later expanded by the Arabs between the 8th and 13th centuries. Thanks to its sturdy red sandstone walls and well-preserved structure, it is considered one of the best-preserved Moorish castles in Portugal. It has been designated a National Monument since 1910.

Silves Historic Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Unfortunately, Silves has become a tourist trap.
The castle has something, but looks like it's only a few years old, that's how well it's been restored.
