The city of Silves was once the capital of the Algarve and ceased to be so when the silting of the Arade River occurred. But this was not the only moment in history in which Silves had a fundamental preponderance in the region. In Moorish times, Silves was an important governmental, mercantile and cultural centre and extended its influence throughout the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula.

There are many Islamic vestiges in Silves and they are very well documented and preserved in its museums and cultural centers that are, without a doubt, worth a visit. Silves has beaches, more specifically in Armação de Pêra, but it is not for the beaches that this city is becoming more and more famous and visited.

Located in the interior of the Algarve, a few kilometres from the sea, Silves attracts more and more tourists looking for an Algarve different from the one it is possible to visit in the most popular places for tourism. In Silves, it is possible to 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 which, for this very reason, has red tones that give it a very peculiar and different aspect from the rest of Portugal's castles.

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