paderne is a municipality of albufeira, where you can visit a little out of the way, a mighty ruin (castelo de paterne) built at the time of the masons, a particularly beautiful hiking path from the exit of a fountain with a washhouse to the castle with great views and from there on along the ribero de ouateira to the so-called roman bridge and a water mill.

Paderne Castle, dating from the 11th or 12th centuries, is one of the seven castles represented on the flag of Portugal and an important example of Islamic military architecture in the Iberian Peninsula. The castle was built during the Muslim period and taken during the Christian Reconquest in 1248. Despite having fallen into disuse and suffering damage, mainly from the 1755 earthquake, it was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1971.
