Silves Castle Tours

Silves Castle is one of the best preserved Moorish fortifications in Portugal. Although it's not one of the most spectacular castles you'll ever visit, or is it blessed with the most scenic backdrop, it makes for quite an interesting excursion from #Faro - especially if the sun is shining ☀️
The fortified walls of Silves Castle have helped it withstand the passage of time. Admire the architectural features of this majestic building from a distance or find out if there are any tours.

If you're staying a while in Silves, Silves Castle is a good place to start your exploring. This fortified complex is one of numerous attractions worth checking out here. Slide and Splash Water Park, Gramacho Pestana Golf, and Aqualand Waterpark are also waiting for you close by.
