• Silves - Perched above the town, Silves Castle is regarded as the most well-preserved Moorish castle in Portugal. The red sandstone fortress, which towers over Silves, was constructed by the Moors who controlled the Al-Gharb (Algarve) region from the 8th to the 13th centuries. During this era, Silves (then known as Xelb) emerged as a significant hub for trade and culture, serving as the capital of the Al-Gharb.
