Demand certificateSilves is an historic and charming town, which was originally the former capital of the Algarve. Under the Moors (9th-12th centuries), Silves was an important defensive stronghold and commercial centre, with boats going down the River Arade and crossing North Africa. Today Silves is peaceful, without haste and the marks of its illustrious past can be seen in the four corners of the city, highlighting the imposing red brick castle, the impregnable city walls and the Gothic cathedral, built on the site of a magnificent mosque. For visitors, Silves is a charming city to explore and get to know, and has a clearly Portuguese atmosphere, with outdoor cafes, cobbled streets and a relaxed pace of life with all the facilities. Along with its rich history and fascinating attractions, Silves has a scenic location, situated along the banks of the slow flowing Arade River and within the rolling hills of the Algarve countryside. Just 20 minutes from the beautiful Algarve coast with its wonderful beaches, crystal clear waters and majestic cliffs, as well as the fishing villages of Alvor, Ferragudo and Carvoeiro, the spas of Monchique, Portimão, Lagos (the town of the discoveries) and also Sagres, Silves has much to offer the locals and visitors. Faro airport is only 45 minutes away. Lisbon and Seville are approximately the same distance from Silves (2H30).
