The excavations undertaken since 1964 have brought to light under the Moorish and Visigothic remains, those of a Roman city including a Patrician villa with a private bath and cellar, a crematorium, wells, grain silos, stables, a wine press and, below, the remains of the public baths. The sea used to come as far as here and these baths were near the port (quay wall). The were used by the sailors who stopped over there.

In this church built in the 17C, seven chapels have impressive Baroque wood panelling from the 18C.

The beach is a strip of sand, which is linked to the mainland by a bridge which runs between the ocean and the Ria Formosa. From the eastern point, you have a lovely view over Faro, the whiteness of which is reflected in the water.

This museum is set up in a modern building built along the old town wall around a large reservoir tank from the 12C and 13C. The collections retrace the history of this region from the Paleolithic age. Worthy of note are the menhirs and the funerary steles from the Iron Age.
