Silves | Algarve | Portugal

City with Islamic root castle and urban wall since the beginning of Arab rule in the peninsula. The Muslim occupation of the present Algarve territory and the prolonged permanence of the Arab peoples and their cultural preponderance remained from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries, and profoundly marked the city's history and urbanism. Xelb, Xilb or al-Shilb was the name given to the city of Silves during Muslim rule.
