Castelo de Silves
Monuments - Palaces / Castles / Towers / Lighthouses



O Castelo de Silves é uma das mais notáveis obras de arquitetura militar que os árabes deixaram entre nós, com mais de mil anos de existência. No interior do Castelo encontram-se vários elementos, dos quais se destaca o Aljibe – grande cisterna de planta retangular que abastecia de água parte significativa da cidade. Outro elemento que poderá encontrar é a Cisterna dos Cães, um imenso poço com mais de 40 metros de profundidade do qual foram retirados diversos fragmentos de cerâmicas medievais, nomeadamente alcatruzes do período de ocupação islâmica.
