Church of Sao Lourenço

The Convent of Santo António dos Capuchos in Faro dates to the beginning of the 17th century. Following the suppression of religious orders in Portugal in 1834, the building housed the National Republican Guard barracks and some offices. It was later used by the Archaeological Museum and Lapidary to exhibit collections. Finally, religious activity was restored in the monastery.

Also known as the "Cathedral of Faro", this cathedral was built in its modern form in the 17th century. Archaeological evidence has proven this to be the site of a sacred place of Paleo-Christians which later became a Mosque after the Arab conquest, and later became a church in the 13th century after the Reconquista. The church was then destroyed by the Earl of Essex in the 16th century and rebuilt in its modern form.
