Ruins of the Castle of Salir, Loulé, Faro - Portugal

O Castelo de Salir está localizado na Beira Serra, uma região de transição entre o Barrocal e a Serra Algarvia, e de ligação entre o Alentejo e o Algarve. Atualmente encontra-se em ruínas e é objeto de pesquisas arqueológicas.

Apesar de possuir vestígios de uma primitiva ocupação, provavelmente céltica, as recente poesquisas arqueológicas realizadas no local estudam e atestam uma ocupação posterior muçulmana, no século XII. O castelo, portanto, tinha a função de proteger o povoado de ataques cristãos, intensificados após a conquista de Tavira pelos cavaleiros da Ordem de Santiago. Esta região foi um dos últimos focos de resistência árabe no Algarve. Posteriormente, o castelo foi incendiado e reconstruído por duas vezes, e atualmente resta apenas as ruínas de seus antigos muros.
