Paderne castle is one of the seven castles represented on the Portuguese flag
The Algarve Regional Development Commission (CCDR Algarve) has announced the completion of the renovation of Paderne Castle’s walls.
The works represented a €578,000 investment, with €404,000 being covered by community funding.
As CCDR Algarve points outs, the castle, which is under the management of Albufeira municipal council and dates back nearly one millennium, is one of the seven castles represented on the Portuguese flag and is one of the “most significant examples of Muslim military architecture in the Iberian Peninsula.”
