Buildings


Barão de São Miguel resembles many rural villages in the Algarve. Its housing stock mainly consists of small white houses with traditional chimneys, a domestic architectural style influenced by the Moorish occupation of the area up to the thirteenth century.

The village church was constructed in the sixteenth century and features a tower and just a single nave. Its baroque high altar is dedicated to the Archangel Michael.[2]

Near to the N125 to the south of the village, lime kilns are to be found. These were originally constructed to supply the nearby city of Lagos.[3]
