Porta de São Gonçalo (Gate of St. Gonzales) - The Romans built the first town walls around Lagos and these were reinforced during the Arab and later Christian occupations of the town. The substantial city walls which we see today still form a protective ring around the old historic centre of Lagos date from 16th century, a time when raids by Barbary pirates were all too common and the threat from Spain turned out to be all too real. |
