Lacobriga refers to the Roman settlement that once stood where Lagos now thrives. Visitors can glimpse excavated remains, including foundations and artifacts, integrated into the city's urban fabric. The site offers a tangible connection to the region's pre-Portuguese past, distinct from other Roman ruins in the Algarve for its location directly under a living city. Walking through the area, you'll see how ancient and modern coexist, with interpretive panels explaining the archaeology.
