Lagos is a town in the district of Faro, in the region of Algarve. Because of its marvelous beaches and stunning scenery, Lagos attracts a large number of tourists each year. There are a number of beaches, though the two most popular are probably Meia Praia and the Praia de Don Ana. The first is found in one of the largest bays in Europe while the second is the one that most likely sees the largest number of visitors every season. The nearby town of Luz also has a magnificent beach worth visiting, called the Praia da Luz. For those who aren’t satisfied simply with the beach for a weekend, Lagos also offers a number of historical monuments to enjoy. For example, check out the Church of Santo António, which dates to the beginning of the 18th century.
Visitors can still see the defensive walls that were built between the 14th and 16th centuries. The Casa da Alfandega has a notorious history. It was established by Prince Henry the Navigator as the first African slave market in Europe. The Castelo dos Governados was the fortress from which young King Dom Sebastiao set off on his disastrous campaign against the Moors. Forte Ponta de Bandeira is a 17th century fort that once defended the entrance of the harbour. The most interesting structure in Lagos is the 18th century baroque Igreja de Santo Antonio. Its gilded interior was made possible by gold taken from Brazil.
