    In the heart of Faro, Portugal's southernmost city and the capital of the Algarve region, there is a charming square known as Praça de D. Afonso III. Named after King Afonso III, who conquered Faro from the Moors in 1249, this historic square offers a fascinating mix of old charm and modern amenities.

      Only a few meters southeast of the cathedral opens again a small lawn, with the statue of the Portuguese King Afonso III. Here is the Museu Municipal.
