City of Faro, Portugal
Faro is a city and municipality in southern Portugal, the capital of the stunningly beautiful Algarve region, renowned for its white sand beaches and countryside. Faro has both Arab and Roman influences and ruins.
It is easy to miss the old town entrance surrounded by the guard walls, which is situated to the east side of Faro Marina. There are a few cafes located in the small squares which connect the narrow streets. Don't miss the storks nest on top of the bell tower at the old town entrance.
There are the Church of St. Francis Yunus convent, city hall, the city's museums, Race and Maritime Museum, the Carmo Church of Our Lady, blue and white St. Francis Church, old Repsol arches and other architectural landmarks. The new city has rebuilt the cathedral on the foundation of the mosque.
