The city of Silves was once the capital of the Algarve and ceased to be when the silting of the Arade River occurred. But this was not the only moment in history when Silves had a fundamental preponderance in the region. At moorish time, Silves was an important government, mercantile and cultural center and extended its influence throughout the southern zone of the Iberian Peninsula.

There are many Islamic remains in Silves and are very well documented and preserved in its museums and cultural centers that are undoubtedly worthy of a visit. Silves has beaches, more specifically in Armação de Pêra, but it is not by the beaches that this city is becoming increasingly famous and visited.

Located in the interior of the Algarve, a few kilometers from the sea, Silves attracts more and more tourists looking for a different Algarve from the one that is possible to visit in the most massed places by tourism. In Silves, you can get to know an Algarve full of history, culture and authenticity.

Another curious detail of this city is the existence, in the vicinity, of a reddish rock, the famous Grés de Silves, a rock that was used in the construction of its castle that, therefore, has red tones that provides it with a very peculiar and different aspect of the other castles of Portugal.

In Silves there's a lot to discover. One of them is the Old Bridge over the River Arade, which today has only pedestrian access. Despite its name, the old viaduct is probably of medieval origin. It is a beautiful characteristic motif for a souvenir photograph; In addition, a picturesque panorama over the river and the castle opens from the bridge.

It is recommended to leave the car in the parking lot by the River Arade and discover the alleys on foot. However, in the state canicula the path to the upper part of the city is steep and strenuous; even so, it's worth it.

The Archaeological Museum in The Town Square has on display a wide variety of pieces, which report the complex and diverse history of this ancient city and its surroundings. The Cathedral of Silves with its large churchwas built on the foundations of the old Mosque. This historic building is worthy to be seen and reminds us that, until 1577, Silves was the place of the Bishop of the Algarve.

The Castle of Silves, built between the 9th and the 12th century, is not only the emblematic monument of the city, but one of the most important buildings of the times of arab occupation throughout the Algarve. Its walls and stockings are built with red stoneware from Silves. Already in 1910, the Castle of Silves was classified as a National Monument.
