Silves council area is the largest in the Algarve and the city itself was once the capital of the Algarve.
The city is situated overlooking the Arade River.
The river used to be navigable in historical times and was what made the city so important.
The Moors invaded Iberia in the eighth century and they then built the lovely red sandstone Castle (Castelo dos Mouros, Moorish Castle) which is located on the top of the hill and called the city Xelb.
During their rule Silves became the cultural centre for the whole Iberian peninsula.
You can still today get a taste of those former times by visiting the medieval festival which takes place every summer, changing your modern currency to 'xelbs' and dress in the costumes of the earlier centuries.
