As we approach Arco da Vila, you'll notice this impressive archway serves as both a gateway into Faro’s historic heart and a symbol of resilience throughout various periods of occupation. Built in 1812 on top of older structures from different eras, it reflects neoclassical architecture with intricate details that tell stories from Portugal's colonial past.
