With an investment of over 1.1 million euros, Faro City Council are to create an accessible tourist circuit in Vila Adentro, to allow everyone to visit and enjoy the historic area of the city.
The launch of the public tender for the construction of the circuit, accessible to people with disabilities or incapacities, was approved at a meeting of the municipal executive held last Monday.
The circuit will cover Vila Adentro and Largo D.Afonso III, and “aims to enhance the full enjoyment of the historic space and its points of interest, regardless of the physical and sensory capabilities” of those visiting that tourist area of the city.
According to the local authority, the work will create accessibility and mobility conditions for everyone, connecting equipment and points of interest and improving the quality of public spaces.
At the same time, conditions will be created for leisure, recreational and cultural activities, through the "installation of urban furniture and the adaptation of infrastructures, which will be in full coordination with the neighbouring buildings", says the municipality.
The works should be completed within approximately 18 months.
