The itinerary:

The Igreja de Santa Maria (Church of Saint Mary) dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries and preserves its 16th century entrance. The rest dates back to the 18th century, when it was restored after a devastating fire.
Forte da Ponta da Bandeira (Flag's Mast Fort) was built in the 17th century, as one of the main components of a system of maritime fortifications to defend the city, then headquarters of the military government of the Algarve. Significant restoration work has been carried out over the years and the fort is considered to be one of the best-preserved 17th century fortifications in the Algarve region.
Ponta da Piedade (Point of Pity) is a group of rock formations along the coastline of Lagos. Several grottos can be visited by boat.
