The tiny village of Alferce is made up of chaming houses built in the style typical of the Algarvean countryside. The village church is medieval, as is demonstrated by its ogival porch, the triumphal arch and the ribbed vault in the main chapel. Not far from Alferce, on Cerro do Castelo, stand the ruins of a fortification with concentric walls. It is believed to be Roman in origin. This part of the Algarve is rich in Roman remains.
