Loulé
The district of Loulé abounds in tiny villages like
Vale do Lobo, Salir, Barranco do Velho, Alte or
Quinta do Lago, each of which a perfect example of traditional Algarve
building styles.
Although we cannot be sure of two first settled in Loulé, Roman remains have
been found and the town walls, which weave in and out of the houses probably
date back to the Arab occupation in the X Century.
The traditional houses around the wall have been restored and
are now the Municipal Museum and an arts centre.
The XIII Century Parish Church near to the historic heart of the town and the
renaissance
Capela das Almas. In the centre of Loulé, near the
market, tradition is retained and craftsmen work in their doorways,
working on harnesses, beating copper and weaving baskets.
