Castle in Silves, overlooking the hills, with inner courtyard and cistern system from the Reconquista era.
Undoubtedly one of the best preserved fortresses in the whole southern part of the country. This castle was used for centuries in prison (the last time in the 1940s, when Salazar's secret police officers were still torturing people there using good old medieval methods). Today you will see a well restored inner courtyard and a whole system of cisterns dating back to the Reconquista era, such as the Cisterna da Moura. The Cisterna dos Cães is said to date back to Roman times. From the top of the building, very beautiful view of the hills.

Le château fort de Silves est bien préservé. On y trouve des restes gallo-romains et du château, on a une belle vue sur les alentours.

Silves est la principale ville médiévale de l Algarve. Ce château est un beau témoignage. Profitez en pour visiter la foire ou feira médiévale avec costumes traditionnels, Gastronomie. Un très bon moment

Une forteresse Maures médiévale qui surplombe la ville. Très jolie vue sur la ville avant d'arriver. Possibilité de se promener sur les murailles du château. Compter 45 minutes pour une visite totale. Un agréable café se trouve au milieu de l'enceinte.
PS: sur la petite place en face de l'office de tourisme de Silves, il y a un point Wi-Fi gratuit.

Le petit jardin et ses fontaines sont très agréables.
Nous avons été ravis de cette visite.
