Sao Goncalo de Lagos

São Gonçalo de Lagos combines a compact historic centre with an Atlantic-facing coastline in a way that reflects its position on Portugal’s Algarve shore. The parish includes much of central Lagos, where streets and squares lead toward the harbour at the mouth of the Bensafrim River. To the south, Ponta da Piedade is known for its weathered limestone headlands, sea arches and small coves. Lagos played an important role in Portugal’s maritime expansion during the 15th century, while the 17th-century Forte da Ponta da Bandeira still stands beside the waterfront.
