Maritime Museum

Maritime Museum

The sea has played a huge role in the Algarve's past. At the Maritime Museum in Faro you’ll find model ships, fishing gear and memorabilia. It’s located by the harbour and is a great way to spend a couple of hours. You can also find out about Vasco da Gama, who is credited with ‘discovering’ India.
