The origins of the city of Silves are lost in the remotest memories of time, but the present bears witness to the expressive power of the people who inhabited it.

In Silves, the green of the orange groves in the fertile valleys. The blue sea. The intense life of an international beach.

The current structure of the city is naturally influenced by the long Arab presence, resulting in an interesting urban fabric, characterised by streets with unique architecture and the important monuments that stand out from them.

The landscape is dominated by the reddish walls of the castle and the still visible remains of the city’s defensive walls, surrounded by the greenish colours of the surrounding countryside.

The picturesque houses surrounded by almond and carob trees. The wide stretches of mountain inviting you to enjoy pleasant walks and contact with nature. Attractions in the municipality of Silves, for holidays made for the pleasure of living.
