Ferragudo has always been a fishing village and there is evidence of Roman salting tanks next to the Fort of São Jodão de Arade. Ferragudo had defensive walls in the Middle Ages, the remains of which can still be seen today and along the coast, at Ponte da Atalaia and Quinta da Torre, are the remains of two medieval watchtowers, which were used to give warning of attacks by pirates and corsairs. Ferragudo has preserved its original character, with pretty streets of whitewashed walls and roofs intersected by decorated chimneys and a charming church looking down on the Arade Estuary.
