What's on in Faro?

Top 4 'What's On' in the area.

Museu Municipal
Also called Museu Arqueológico as it contains mainly archaeological finds. Located in the former Nossa Senhora da Assunção monastery inside the ring-wall.The monastery gardens dating from 1540, with beautiful, two-storey cloisters, form the heart of the museum. Among the most remarkable items is a Roman floor mosaic from the 4th century with the head of the god Neptune in special detail.
What to see
From outside, Faro’s cathedral is low and squat, a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque as a result of protracted renovations and additions following the devastation of war and natural catastrophes. The interior is equally mixed but with interesting features, including a large organ from the 18th century with Chinoiserie decoration.
Igreja do Carmo
Of Faro’s churches, this Baroque broadside is the most popular, but not so much for its fantastically over-elaborate, gold-leaf laden interior as for its Capela dos Ossos, a “bone chapel” which was added in 1816 and which is entirely decorated with the skeletons of monks.
Parque Natural da Ria Formosa
The Ria Formosa wetlands area was declared a protected natural area in 1987 because its unique conditions as a breeding place for wetland birds were threatened by the expansion of tourism. The entire coast from Faro to Cacela Velha was able to avoid exploitation in this way. A boat trip to one of Faro’s islands is one way to visit Ria Formosa. The palace and gardens of Estoi / Roman remains of Milreu The Palácio de Estoi, unique in the Algarve, is situated in the town of Estoi just north of Faro. It is a private palace built in Rococo style during the second half of the 19th century. This miniature version of the King’s palace in Queluz outside Lisbon is surrounded by very beautiful gardens that are open to the public. In Milreu – just outside Estoi – are the Algarve’s chief Roman remains.
