The 16th century Cruz de Portugal is one of the most beautiful examples of Manueline stone masonry in Portugal. A white limestone wayside cross, three metres high, it depicts Christ on the Cross on the front and has a Piéta (the Virgin Mary cradling the dead Christ) on the back. The base dates from 1824. It is located next to the old road that used to constitute the link between the Algarve and the kingdom of Portugal.
