The city of Silves was once the capital of the Algarve and ceased to be so when the silting of the Arade River occurred. But this was not the only moment in history in which Silves had a fundamental preponderance in the region. In Moorish times, Silves was an important governmental, mercantile and cultural center and extended its influence throughout the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. There are many Islamic remains in Silves and they are very well documented and preserved in its museums and cultural centers that are undoubtedly worth a visit. Silves has beaches, more specifically in Armação de Pêra, but it is not for the beaches that this city is becoming increasingly famous and visited. Located in the interior of the Algarve, a few kilometers from the sea, Silves attracts more and more tourists looking for an Algarve different from the one that is possible to visit in the most crowded places for tourism. In Silves, it is possible to get to know an Algarve full of history, culture and authenticity. Another curious detail of this city is the existence, in the vicinity, of a reddish rock, the famous Grés de Silves, a rock that was used in the construction of its castle which, for this reason, has red tones that give it a very peculiar appearance and different from the other castles in Portugal. In Silves there is a lot to discover. One of them is the Old Bridge over the Arade River, which today has only pedestrian access. Despite its name, the old viaduct is probably of medieval origin. It is a beautiful characteristic motif for a souvenir photograph; In addition, from the bridge there is a picturesque panorama over the river and the castle. It is recommended to leave the car in the parking lot by the Arade River and discover the alleys on foot. However, in the summer heat the path to the upper part of the city is steep and strenuous; Even so, it is worth it. The Archaeological Museum in Praça do Município has a wide variety of pieces on display, which relate the complex and diverse history of this ancient city and its surroundings. The Cathedral of Silves with its large churchyard was built on the foundations of the old Mosque. This historic building is worth seeing and reminds us that, until 1577, Silves was the seat of the Bishop of the Algarve.
