Museu Municipal

Ihla da Barreta
Known as the Ihla Deserta, this island is a beautiful and remote sandy strip just off the Faro coastline. It has an environmentally friendly restaurant that runs on solar power. Ferries leave for the island from the Arco da Porta Nova, and you can also take a boat tour through other parts of the Rio Formosa National Park.

Milreu Ruins
Ten kilometres to the south of Faro, and near the village of Estoi, are the ruins of a grand roman villa. The Milreu Ruins, which date from the first century AD, provide a rare glimpse into Roman life. The ruins feature a gallery of columns around an inner courtyard, which was typical of a peristyle villa, as well as details such as under floor heating.
