Cerro da Vila is an archaeological site located near the coast. The site's first ruins were discovered in 1963 by archaeologist José Farrajota Algarve, who also made the first excavations - later continued by archaeologist José Luís de Matos. The ruins, which are visible today, are of great archaeological value and have made a significant contribution to the knowledge of the different civilizations that have occupied the Algarve in the past.

The Ponte Romana da Tôr - or Tôr Roman bridge - was built to connect Estoi Milreu (Faro) with Salir (Loulé). It is now located just south of the Loulé Tor in the Ribeira de Quarteira. The bridge is often considered to have Muslim origins, even though it has two perfectly round arches, which are typical of Roman architecture.

Built for the Euro 2004 football tournament, the Algarve Stadium hosted two of the tournament's group stage matches. With a capacity of 30,335 seats, its construction led to the creation of Algarve United - a new football club which has since disappeared. The resident club is now Farense FC. The stadium also served as a nerve-centre in the Rally of Portugal. The Gibraltar national football team has played its matches at the stadium since 2014, and will continue to use the stadium as its base until its own stadium is completed.
