The Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição church in Albufeira is the most important main church of the historic old town and a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture. The building was erected between 1782 and 1800. It replaced the original main church in the town, which had been completely destroyed by the severe earthquake and tsunami of 1755. In 1800, the new church was officially consecrated. The white, simple, and elegant facade shapes the cityscape of the upper or old town. A true landmark is the approximately 28-meter-high bell tower.

The hike isn't exactly easy. At some point, not everyone dares to continue. The signs provided by Komoot are confusing: there are too many paths. Just follow the coastline.
