Roman mosaics. Lost beaches. Byzantine walls. Most people know Faro as the capital of the Algarve. But beneath the streets of the modern city lies a much older story. In this episode, we meet Vasco — a local historian who spent ten years living in Ireland before returning home and seeing Faro with completely new eyes. Vasco Carto - Local Guide https://www.instagram.com/welcome2alentejo/ Together, we explore the hidden layers of the city, from the Roman settlement of Ossonoba to the Byzantine walls that still stand today. Along the way, we uncover ancient mosaics, climb Faro Cathedral's bell tower, visit the city's fascinating museum, and discover how the coastline itself has transformed over the last two thousand years. Because Faro wasn't always the city we see today. Its beaches were somewhere else. Its harbour looked completely different. And beneath its streets are traces of entire civilizations that most visitors never notice. Join us as we uncover the forgotten history of Faro and learn why sometimes you have to leave a place before you can truly appreciate it. 📍 Locations featured: • Oceanus Mosaic • Faro Old Town • Byzantine Walls • Faro Municipal Museum • Faro Cathedral Bell Tower • Sabores do Churrasco Premium 🎥 Algarve Unlocked is a series exploring the towns, villages, history, people and hidden stories of the Algarve.
