Arco da Vila Interpretative Center
In the center of Faro, the capital of Portugal's Algarve region, stands an iconic historical building - the Town Arch. The Town Arch was built in the mid-18th century as a gate to the ancient city wall of Faro. It has been well preserved to this day. The arch is designed in a typical neoclassical style with a solemn and elegant shape. The top of the arch is decorated with the shield symbolizing Portugal and the royal coat of arms of King Jose I of Portugal, showing its former majesty and glory. On the walls on both sides of the arch, the exquisite reliefs are lifelike, depicting mythological stories and historical scenes, and every detail embodies the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen.For centuries, Arco da Vila has witnessed the historical changes of Faro. It is not only an important barrier against foreign enemies, but also an important landmark of urban development. When night falls, soft lights illuminate the arch, giving it a dreamy veil that blends with the surrounding modern life to form a unique urban picture.Faro · 16.1 km from Quarteira

A well maintained crazy golf course! This isn’t the first time that we have been. And I’m sure it won’t be the last. Fun and a little challenging 😀

It’s very historic attraction, and we really enjoyed seeing the luxury tiles artwork. The gardens are beautiful. Have got a lot of home decor ideas, the souvenir shops is great too.
