Lagoa developed around its parish church, which was first built in the sixteenth century. The town was badly damaged by the earthquake of 1755, and much of it was rebuilt in the eighteenth century. In the surrounding streets it is possible to catch sight of the ornamental white chimneys, with their intricately carved tracery, that are such a hallmark of the Algarve. A walk around the narrow streets affords visitors glimpses of Manueline doorways and windows dating from the town’s sixteenth-century past.
