The Algarve is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. It’s known for having 300 days of sunshine per year, great seafood, top golf courses and beautiful resorts. With this kind of weather and a coastline that runs for approximately 200 kilometres, non-stop, notable for its picturesque limestone caves and idyllic beaches, it’s no wonder it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe.

The Cathedral of Faro, also known as Sé or the Church of Santa Maria, is one of the most important historic buildings in Faro. It’s located in the historic city centre, in Largo da Sé. The architecture consists of a mixture of different styles: gothic (tower porch, main entrance, and some chapels), mannerist and baroque.

For centuries, Faro’s fortified walls have enclosed the city’s most intriguing treasures, from the cathedral’s chamber of bones to a castle converted into a brewery.
