No effort was spared to make clear that this is the central square of this well designed town. Founded by King Joseph I (aka "The Reformer")' proclamation in 1773, after a tsunami and earthquake had destroyed a nearby village. Nice square, lots of opportunities for a royal dinner. http://www.cm-vrsa.pt/pt/menu/667/culture-heritage.aspx

Forte de Cacela Velha, Algarve - Portugal Cacela Velha Fortress. Cacela Velha and the surrounding towns were a stopover for Greek and Phoenician navigators, and according to some authors it may have once been near the location of Conistorgis, the still-unrecovered capital of the Conii. Roman and Arab occupiers also played a significant role in the expansion of the region.[1] Archeological excavations conducted from May 7 to July 4, 2007, determined the village was the Medina of Qast’alla Daraj (Ibn Darradj al-Qastalli), an Islamic town dating back to the 10th century, when much of the Iberian peninsula was controlled by the Moors and Berbers who arrived from North Africa. Archeologists determined the area was an agricultural center, and part of the excavation recovered seven corn pits that were used for storing cereals and grain. #fortress #cacelavelha #miticplaces #Algarve #Portugal #Beach #Nationalpark #archeology #history #Arabiantown #century
