Church of Sao Lourenço

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.

The church of Luz de Lagos was mainly built in 1874, the church tower was built later by the local resident, who also bought the tower clock. The church is located in a picturesque place, which makes it a tourist attraction.
