São Lourenço Arts Centre <!-- CivilAndHistoricArchitecture isempty -->

In a typical Algarve building situated near the church, the Arts Centre offers a programme of musical and plastic arts featuring modern Portuguese and foreign artists.

<!-- ReligiousBuildings isempty -->

All that remains of this primitive church, built on the site of an old mosque in 1251 after the Reconquest, is the immense tower-portico of the entrance. It was rebuilt in the 18C after having been burned by English troops. From the top of the medieval tower, you have beautiful views over the town and coast. Not far from there, the Galeria do Trem (Rua do Trem) and the Galeria do Arco (Beco do Arco) exhibit the works of contemporary Portuguese and foreign artists.

Nossa Senhora da Rocha chapel <!-- ReligiousBuildings isempty -->

This is an attractive white chapel with a pointed bell-tower located on a cliff promontory whose interior, covered in azulejos, houses some charming commemorative plaques (ships).

This museum alongside the church of Santo Antonio, has an interesting archaeological collection (coins, fragments of mosaics) and an ethnographic section devoted to the Algarve (notice the cork frames).
