Unfortunately, Silves has become a tourist trap.
The castle has something, but looks like it's only a few years old, that's how well it's been restored.

Lovely town to spend a day in. The castle is well worth a visit.

Silves is a charming, historic town in the Algarve, southern Portugal, known for its well-preserved castle and rich Moorish past. In the Middle Ages, it was the regional capital and an important cultural and political center. Today, Silves exudes tranquility, with cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, orange groves, and a blend of Christian and Islamic influences visible throughout the town.
