Perhaps because of its perfectly defined geographic position, the Algarve reveals an immense aggregating capacity that makes the region a case that we consider unique in the country. For this reason and for recognizing the richness of our territory as a whole, from the outset there was the intention to involve the entire region in this process that leads Faro towards a candidacy for European Capital of Culture.

More than a city,
an entire region.

Due to its perfectly defined geographical position, the Algarve has a unique ability to unite. For this reason and for recognizing the richness of our territory, there is the intention to involve the entire region in this process that leads Faro towards a candidacy for European Capital of Culture.
For a shared process, on November 25, 2019, collaboration agreements were signed.
University of Algarve, Algarve Tourism Region and AMAL - Algarve Intermunicipal Community, formalize themselves as co-producers of the application together with the Municipality of Faro.
Letters of Collaboration were also signed with the Regional Directorate IPDJ Algarve, Regional Directorate for Culture of the Algarve and CCDR, affirming their interest in participating in this process for the development of the region.​
