The Silves City Gate (Porta da Cidade) is one of the old gateways to the walled medieval city. It was part of the original city defenses and is located near the historic center and the castle. Although only a portion of the gate remains, it offers a good overview of the former city walls and Silves' strategic location as the former Moorish capital of the Algarve. It's an atmospheric place to experience the city's rich history.
