Centro de Interpretaçao do Património Islâmico

This interpretative centre promotes the network of Islamic routes through Portugal, Spain and Morocco, with a small but interesting exhibition on architecture (including traditional mud-brick production) water and poetry. Knowledgeable overseer Miguel knows a lot about the town and its Islamic cultural heritage. The centre also doubles as Silves' municipal tourism office
