Almancil

Although Almancil is now more famous for its Karting track the town has some wonderful architecture and is a lovely place to stop for lunch or dinner. The Igreja de São Lourenço - parish church of St. Lawrence dates back to the 18th centrury and has some beautiful glazed tiles inside depicting the life of St. Lawrence.
