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.

Rent kayaks and surfboards to ride the waves lapping this narrow stretch of sand, which serves as a wall between ocean and river.
