Loulé, the capital of the district of the same name, is an important rural administrative and active market town with over 20.000 residents. The weekly fair attracts tourists from all over the Algarve. The town's landmark is the market hall (Mercado municipal) which re-opened in early 2007 after a long period of renovation. Its architecture has a classic moorish style influence.

The annual Carnival in February with itsa colourful procession around the centre of the city is considered one of the best in Portugal.

The earthquake in 1755 destroyed, like in most other towns in the Algarve, most of the historic buildings. Today you can only see some remains of the Arab castle and the Gothic Church of S. Clemente. The town is nevertheless worth a visit, especially the old part and its surroundings. Please come with us on a virtual tour!
The panoramic photo below shows the pilgrimage church of Nossa Senhora de Piedade, situated at the western exit of Loulé in the direction of Boliqueime and which is visible from afar.
