LAGOS TOWN

Situated in the extreme Southwest of the Algarve region of Portugal, the city of Lagos has its roots in the ancient Roman settlement of Lacóbriga. It also probable that prior to the Romans the Phoenicians had a settlement on or close to the present town.
During the 7th Century AD, the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula including the Algarve, was conquered by Islamic tribes emanating from North Africa and the Middle East. These people were know as "the Moors" or "Arabs", but, in fact, their origins were as diverse as Syria, Persia and Judea, a fact visible even to day in the names of many Algarve villages and towns. Those who settled in Lagos contributed to the development of the nascent city walls and defences.

Many seamen on the voyages of exploration originated from Lagos, which resultantly turned into a commercial and naval port of consequence. It was from Lagos that the caravels, developed by Portuguese shipwrights, sailed to encounter new worlds in Africa and America and subsequently brought back gold, ivory and slaves, all of which greatly contributed to the wealth of both the city and nation. The Slave Market building still standing today in central Lagos was built to accommodate this trade. Several famous ships masters on the original voyages licensed by Prince Henry, hailed from Lagos Navigators. Several such as Gil Eanes, Álvaro Esteves and Lançarote Freitas are, to this day, commemorated in the names of some of the principal streets of Lagos.

Lagos remained the capital of Algarve until 1756, when owing to the fact that a large part of its infrastructure and architectural legacy was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755, the capital was transferred away from the city to Faro. Today, the town is primarily a destination for holidaymakers. However, it still retains the atmosphere of its great cosmopolitan heritage, a fact readily visible to the visitor in its wealth of architecture and monuments.
