«Loulé Velho is an unavoidable place in the panorama of the Roman domain of the Algarve coast, with an occupation that goes from the XNUMXst century BC to the XNUMXth/XNUMXth century. It is a luxurious villa which, given its geographic location, acted as a hub to unify the population, with the capacity to generate economic activities that provided its continued occupation», described the City Council of Loulé.
