Silves Castle

by freya_heaven - last update: Jun 27, 2004

King Sancho the 1st (& Princess Freya!)
Silves was once the Moorish capital of the Algarve region.

The town itself is not very big, with a population of less than 11 thousand. Most visitors who come here come to see the Se (Cathedral) & Silves Castle

We spent a lovely morning & lunchtime here wandering around Silves Castle & lovely old cobbled streets
