    The Roman temple of Milréu, originally built for a water deity, was converted into a church in the 6th century.

      ✓Continuously inhabited from the 1st to the 11th centuries, this opulent Roman Empire villa was, in the early 4th century, a luxurious manor house. It has thermal baths, olive and wine presses, and agricultural facilities, confirming the lifestyle of a family of high social and political status. It also includes a Christianized temple from the 6th century, which, during the period of Islamic rule in the Iberian Peninsula, was used as a cemetery.

      ✓Archaeological excavations carried out at the end of the 19th century revealed mosaics with predominantly marine themes, various marbles and ceramics, as well as painted stucco and sculptures that adorned the interiors and gardens, now the site's hallmark.

      ✓Located west of the village of Estói, in the municipality of Faro, it has a visitor and interpretation center.
      ✓From May to September: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM |


      ✓From October to April: Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
