A Journey Through Centuries from the Romans to Today

In the vicinity of your holiday apartment or holiday home in Faro in the West Algarve, there is much to discover. The most exciting attraction in the old town of Faro is the 18th-century Baroque Carmelite Church, Nossa Senhora do Carmo. In the golden church, there is a real curiosity: The Bone Chapel, Capela dos Ossos. An inscription in Portuguese above the entrance reminds everyone that one day they will meet this fate. More than 1,000 monks are buried in the small chapel, measuring only four by six meters. Arco da Vila is the second major attraction in a central location. The national monument was built in the 19th century over one of the medieval Porta da Rainha. A marble statue of the city's patron saint, Thomas Aquinas, adorns the façade. History enthusiasts will find an archaeological museum in the former monastery Nossa Senhora da Assunção from the 16th century. The monastery features a well-preserved cloister. The museum displays items from Roman times, sacred art, and Portuguese azulejos, the blue-painted wall tiles. In the harbor, there is also a small maritime museum dedicated to seafaring and fishing. The Ria Formosa lagoon in the Algarve in southern Portugal is a system of barrier islands connected to the sea across six bays. The area attracts numerous visitors annually. All you need to do is rent an exclusive house or villa, an apartment with sea views, a garden, and air conditioning in a wonderful landscape.
