Silves is in the centre of a prosperous area growing citrus and vegetables for both export and local consumption. |

The Castle is to the right on the hill overlooking the River Arade, the Cathedral is to the left of the Castle and the townhouse being renovated is in Rua do Arrochelas just to the left and downhill from the Cathedral. |

Parts of the Cathedral survived the 1755 earthquake - however most of what can be seen now dates from after that event. |

Silves is about 20 minutes drive from the Sea and a great centre for exploring the inland Algarve. |
