Most simply beautiful town center, resembling cobbled streets of Italy, the town has a great Historical Architecture and Culture dating back to 1773.
It was in 1773 that the Marquis of Pombal gave orders for this village, almost destroyed by a tsunami, to be rebuilt using the latest technologies; designed in a Pombaline orthogonal grid, it was to become the most modern city in the country and the flourishing economic center of the Algarve in the 18th century.

There are a couple of streets that run parallel to the square and connect to the water front. These are full of shops and eateries and lots of people. Just a fun place to stop and browse. The square is a great place to people watch, especially in the sunshine
