"Faro is the capital of the Algarve region, in the south of Portugal. The city's neoclassical Arco da Vila is located on the site of a door that was part of the original Moorish walls. The monumental arch leads to the old city, with its cobbled streets. Nearby is the Sé de Faro, built in the 13th century. The Municipal Museum, in a 16th century convent, displays prehistoric and medieval artifacts, as well as sacred art."
