Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided architecture tour route in Faro. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Cidade Velha (Old Town) — a walled old town entered through the Arco da Vila archway, with the 13th-century cathedral, bishop's palace, cobbled lanes, and stork nests on rooftops, Faro Cathedral and tower — a 13th-century cathedral rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake with a Baroque interior, azulejo tiles, and tower views over the old town and Ria Formosa lagoon, Igreja do Carmo and Chapel of Bones — an 18th-century Baroque church with a macabre rear chapel lined with the skulls and bones of over 1,200 monks exhumed from the Carmelite cemetery, plus hidden gems like Milreu Roman Ruins — a well-preserved Roman villa with mosaic floors and a temple, just north of the city.
