Description
Castelo dos Governadores is a historic gem in Lagos that is an excellent example of Moorish defensive architecture. Part of the city's fortified perimeter, this fascinating castle was fortified in the 13th century to protect the city and the bay.
A distinctive feature of the castle is the St. Gonçalo gate and the two freestanding Arbello towers, which represented a significant advance in the defensive architecture of the time.
The site is extremely photogenic and offers many opportunities for photography lovers and history enthusiasts.
