Venue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faro, whose origins can be traced back to the Tartessian culture and the first Phoenician settlements in the Iberian Penisula (5th century b.C.), testifies for the constant human presence, namely the Roman city of Ossonoba, while taking its current name from the first Arab conqueror, Ibn-Harun (8th century b.C.). The medieval castle and town walls house ‘intramuros’ (Vila-Adentro) the City Hall, the Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace and Seminar, as well as the beautiful view over the Ria Formosa.<\/p>\n

Faro became in modern times the political and administrative capital of the Algarve region. The University of Algarve is one of the major driving forces of the city.<\/p>\n

The University welcomes around 10,000 students, and it is spread through four campuses: Gambelas, Penha, Escola de Sa\u00fade and Portim\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Tourism is the economic activity that brings more revenue to the city and region, since Faro International Airport is one of the main entry gates for tourists in the region and in the country, and since the geography of the Algarve is very attractive, having some of the best beaches in the world.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the city is Ria Formosa, which is a salt marsh that extends along 60 kilometers from the Anc\u00e3o river to the beach of Manta Rota, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a complex system of barrier-islands.<\/p>\n

The region is well known for the favorable weather that characterizes it, reaching, in summer (June to September), average temperatures of around 22 \u00baC.<\/p>\n

Faro, dont les origines remontent \u00e0 la culture tartessienne et les premi\u00e8res colonies ph\u00e9niciennes dans la P\u00e9ninsule Ib\u00e9rique (5\u00e8me si\u00e8cle avant JC), t\u00e9moigne de la pr\u00e9sence humaine constante, \u00e0 savoir la ville romaine de Ossonoba, tout en prenant son nom actuel depuis son premier\u00a0conqu\u00e9reur arabe, Ibn-Haroun (8\u00e8me si\u00e8cle avant JC):\u00a0Le ch\u00e2teau m\u00e9di\u00e9val et ses murs encore imponents, l’Hotel de Ville et les b\u00e2timent “intramuros”\u00a0(Vila-Adentro), la cath\u00e9drale, le Palais \u00c9piscopal\u00a0et son S\u00e9minaire, ainsi que la belle vue sur la Ria Formosa.<\/p>\n

Faro est devenu \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque moderne de la capitale politique et administrative de la r\u00e9gion de l’Algarve. L’Universit\u00e9 de l’Algarve est l’une des principales forces motrices de la ville.
\nL’Universit\u00e9 accueille pr\u00e8s de 10.000 \u00e9tudiants, et elle se propage par quatre campus: Gambelas, Penha, Escola de Sa\u00fade et Portim\u00e3o.
\nLe tourisme est l’activit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique qui apporte plus de revenu pour la ville et pour la r\u00e9gion. L’a\u00e9roport international de Faro est l’une des principales portes d’entr\u00e9e pour les touristes dans la r\u00e9gion et dans le pays. Par sa g\u00e9ographie, tout\u00a0l’Algarve est tr\u00e8s attrayant, avec quelques-uns des les plus belles plages du monde.
\nLe point culminant de la ville est la Ria Formosa, un marais sal\u00e9 qui s’\u00e9tend le long \u00e0 60 kilom\u00e8tres de la rivi\u00e8re Anc\u00e3o \u00e0 la plage de Manta Rota, s\u00e9par\u00e9 de l’Atlantique par un syst\u00e8me de \u00eeles-barri\u00e8re,
\nLa r\u00e9gion est bien connue pour le climat favorable qui la caract\u00e9rise, atteignant, en \u00e9t\u00e9 (Juin \u00e0 Septembre), des temp\u00e9ratures moyennes de l’ordre de 22 \u00baC.<\/p>\n
