Roman treasures of the Algarve. Important historical legacy that bear testimony to the presence of the Romans in the Algarve, the Ruins of Milreu, situated only a few kilometres from Faro, close to Estói, represent genuine trip into the past that it is well worth taking some time to discover and explore. The imposing treasures of the Ruins of Milreu, now classified as a national monument, reveal what remains of the once luxurious rural villa, which in the 6th century AD abandoned its pagan status and began to be placed at the service of the Christian church. The site was abandoned in the 10th century.

If only walls could speak think of the stories they would tell. I always find old ruins whether they be here or The Pont du Gard aqueduct or Hadrian's Wall in Owd Bob's neck of the woods absolutely fascinating. This is a great picture that showed me something about the Algarve that I was unaware of.

Now that is old! Those Romans built things to last and so they did and over many parts of the world. They seem to like those rounded constructions at certain points in their history. I have seen them else where as well. I sure would love to explore this ancient site. Great shot of it, Antonio and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.
Very well done my friend. You captured the details so very well. Like Steve said if only the walls could speak!

A wonderful touch of history you have shown us Antonio. Most of us will never see it in person. Coloring is really good.

Insure what you touch during your lifetime, is not coated with the fingerprints of apathy....Tick
The sun always seems to shine where ever you go Antonio, or so it seems. Your captures are always so colourful, and the day you took this was equally lovely. Well done!
