Faro
FARO

Faro is the Algarve’s capital and thriving commercial centre. With a history dating back to the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, Roman then Moorish, recaptured by Afonso III and then plundered and burned by the Earl of Essex, Faro was rebuilt. Inside, spacious open square that was once the site of the Roman Forum is a 13th Century Cathedral that faces the 18th Century Episcopal palace. An interesting Algarve property is the neighbouring 16th Century Convent that is now turned into the home of the city’s archaeological museum. The town’s hub features a marina and a little garden of cafes. Faro is also the home of the Ria Formosa lagoon, a nature reserve of over 17.000 hectares and a stopping place for hundreds of different birds during the spring and autumn migratory periods. The beach is almost 7 kms distant from the city and is a long sandy spit reached by crossing a bridge not far from the International Airport. The surrounding rural areas of Faro are home to many Algarve property owners and is enticing new purchasers to the Algarve property market all the time.
