Consumption certificateSilves, a historic and enchanting town, once served as the capital of the Algarve. During the Moorish rule from the 9th to the 12th centuries, it stood as a vital defensive stronghold and bustling commercial hub, witnessing boats traversing the River Arade and venturing into North Africa. Today, Silves exudes tranquility, preserving the echoes of its prestigious past in every corner. Its notable landmarks include the commanding red brick castle, formidable city walls, and the Gothic cathedral, erected upon the grounds of a grand mosque. Visitors find Silves a delightful city to explore, imbued with a distinctly Portuguese ambiance, featuring alfresco cafes, cobblestone streets, and a laid-back lifestyle complemented by modern amenities. Nestled amidst the scenic Algarve countryside, Silves enjoys a picturesque setting along the serene banks of the Arade River. Just a short drive from the stunning Algarve coastline, renowned for its pristine beaches, crystalline waters, and majestic cliffs, Silves offers easy access to charming fishing villages like Alvor, Ferragudo, and Carvoeiro, as well as the rejuvenating spas of Monchique, Portimão, Lagos (known as the town of discoveries), and Sagres. Conveniently located, Faro airport is a mere 45 minutes away, while Lisbon and Seville are both approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Silves.
