Silves was the capital city of the Algarve between 1249 and 1910, back when this portion of Portugal was its very own kingdom. In those days, you would've seen knights on horses trotting along the streets, huge markets spread across the centre and even archers on the city walls. Well, for nine days in August, the whole of Silves reenacts what the place would've looked like in those days, and this evening tour shows off all of it.
