Château des Gouverneurs.Daté du XVIIe siècle, cet édifice renferme l’unique ensemble de Sept Pas de la Ville Sacrée qui, au XVIIIe siècle, se trouvaient éparpillés dans la ville.
Castelo dos Governadores was built by the Arabs. After the Reconquista in the 13th century, the Algarve's military government was established here in the 14th century.
In the 16th century, a section of the city wall was used to construct a building for the governor's dwelling: the Castle of the Governors. Nowadays, what is left of the castle was part of the outer wall that borders Lagos Hospital. The rest was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755 that also destroyed Lisbon. At the end of this wall, close to the hospital wall, you can see a window from the Manueline period (1495-1520). And in front of the window, vestiges of the old wharf whence the caravels left for the Portuguese maritime discoveries.
