Statue that pays homage to João de Deus. João de Deus was an eminent lyrical poet who, during his lifetime, was considered to be foremost amongst his peers. He was also the pioneer of a new teaching method that aimed to simplify teaching reading to children, the Cartilha Maternal. He was very popular during his lifetime and as such was laid to rest at the National Pantheon (Panteão Nacional). To this day he is still referred to as the poet of love.

Al'Mutadid, lord of Seville, conquered the city of Silves in 1053 and his son, Al'Mutamid, was appointed to rule over it at the tender age of 12. It was during this time that, alongside Ibn Ammar, a local poet, Al'Mutamid dedicated himself to poetry, music and singing. When forced to return to Seville he wrote a famous poem saluting the city of Silves.

The defensive system that once enveloped the entire city of Silves was quite complete and sophisticated. It was divided into the following parts: the fortress, Almedina walls (walls protecting the central part of town), the armour, Arrabalde walls (walls protecting the suburbs) and it probably also had moats and countermures. Nowadays, the only remnant of the Arrabalde walls (in the downtown area) is the well known Rebolda arch.

Located in the environs of Silves, this engraved cross dates back to the 16th century. It is three metres high and is engraved in sedimentary rock. One of the sides depicts the crucifixion and the other one the descent from the cross. This viewpoint affords a beautiful view over the fortress.
