It is an impressive city gate with Azulejo panels depicting the conquest of the city of Faro by Christian crusaders. The "Arco do Repouso" is another medieval city gate leading to the Largo de São Francisco. Here is the "Igreja de São Francisco", the Franciscan church built in the 17th century on the remains of the "Convento de Santo António".
