Overview

Not to miss a stop at the church of Santo António in Lagos, one of the finest church interiors in Portugal classified as a National Monument.

Tour the Slave Market Museum, housed in the city's oldest building, and perceive a regrettable chapter in Portuguese history.

Glimpse the strategically positioned 17 century Fort of Ponte de Bandeira and one of the best-preserved 17th-century fortifications in the Algarve region. Time to stop at Sagres, the most southerly community in Portugal and the most south-westerly in continental Europe.

Visit the Fortress of Sagres, an imposing fort built in the 15th century by a man-made extension of natural rock used to defend Sagres from the permanent harassment of pirates.
