Introduction
The Arco da Vila stands at the entrance to Faro's old town in Portugal's Algarve — a Neoclassical city gate built in the early 19th century under an Italian architect. Above the arch sit a clock tower and a chapel to the Virgin, and the passage links the quiet lanes within the walls to the breezy square outside. Stepping through the arch carries visitors from the defensive memory of a historic port into the whitewashed, blue-tiled, unhurried everyday life of the Algarve — the gentlest of prologues to the old city.
