This Algarve city was once the "center of the world" due to its proximity to the ocean and was a slave market in the 15th century

Lagos, an Algarve city, was during the 15th century one of the main departure points of the Portuguese Discoveries, having Prince Henry armed caravels there that explored the African coast, which earned it the informal designation of "center of the world" due to the centrality it achieved in maritime routes. The city also maintained a dark side, functioning as a place for the sale of enslaved people, with the Slave Market currently preserved as a memory of this past. Lagos was also the capital of the Algarve during the reign of King Sebastian and preserves remains such as the walls, Fort of Ponta da Bandeira and the Church of Santo António, classified as a National Monument.
