Bis in ph\u00f6nizische Zeiten reicht die Geschichte der Stadt zur\u00fcck. Sie war r\u00f6misch und wurde als Xelb f\u00fcr 500 Jahre die prachtvolle 30.000-Seelen-Hauptstadt der maurischen Provinz Al-Gharb. Die dominierende Lage machte Silves zur idealen Festungsstadt.<\/p>\n
\u00dcberschw\u00e4nglich priesen arabische Historiker ihre Sch\u00f6nheit, die nur noch der Glanz Granadas \u00fcbertroffen habe. Und so wurde sie nat\u00fcrlich erbittert verteidigt. K\u00f6nig Sancho I. nahm sie 1198 nur f\u00fcr kurze Zeit in Besitz und erst 1242 gelang K\u00f6nig Alfonso III. die endg\u00fcltige Eroberung. Der einstige Glanz der Stadt verblasste rasch, und nach der Verlegung des in der Mitte des 13. Jh. gegr\u00fcndeten Bischofssitzes nach Faro (um 1580) und wegen der schweren Sch\u00e4den durch das gro\u00dfe Erdbeben von 1755 verfiel Silves zu einer nahezu bedeutungslosen Stadt.<\/p>\n
Silves ist jedoch mit den stillen Pl\u00e4tzen, den alten H\u00e4usern und der Burg Castelo dos Mouros auch heute noch eine sehr sehenswerte Stadt. Bei einem Rundgang auf den Mauern der Burg \u00f6ffnen sich reizvolle Ausblicke auf den Ort und seine Umgebung. Die Kathedrale S\u00e9, ein sehenswerter dreischiffiger sp\u00e4tgotischer Bau mit wuchtigem Querhaus, sp\u00e4tgotischem Chor und mehrfach gestuftem Hauptportal, ist ebenfalls beeindruckend.<\/p>\n
Beachten Sie auch das Cruz de Portugal, das Kreuz von Portugal, ein 3 m hohes manuelinisches Wegekreuz am Ortsausgang.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
