Imposing, renovated castle from the 12th century. Here you can enjoy the peace and the view of the beautiful landscape away from the crowded coastal towns. The walls and towers are completely accessible.

The Castle of Silves is a castle in the civil parish of Silves in the municipality of Silves in the Portuguese Algarve. It is believed that the first fortifications were built on a possible Lusitanian castro, by the Romans or Visigoths. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_Silves

A superb and well maintained imposing castle. It is in exceptionally good condition and there is a cafe and toilet on site.
