The Roman villa in Milreu dates back to the 1st century AD. However, these initial constructions remain to be dug and most of what can be seen dates from the 3rd century AD. The villa is organised around a peristyle which would have 22 columns. It was decorated with mosaics depicting maritime motifs. In the 6th century, the pagan temple was converted into a Christian church. The premises were later used as a Muslim cemetery.It is likely that the site was only abandoned in the 10th century when the vaults of the religious monument collapsed. In the 16th century, a rural house was built; it is a unique example of the Algarvian civil architecture of the period.

Evidence of human presence in the region dates back to the Neolithic period. During the Iron Age,  with the expansion of the "castro" culture and the Bracari, a Celtic tribe,  a series of "castros" (fortified settleme nts) were built. Bracara Augusta, the Roman city, was likely built on top of a major "castro",  destroyed due to the wars between the Bracari and the Roman army. The city was named both after the Celtic tribe and the emperor, to whom it was dedicated. During the Roman period, several public buildings were constructed, namely the theatre, the baths , and temples. In the 3rd century, when the province of Gaellecia was created, Bracara Augusta became its capital and by 385 it already had a bishopric and an important role in the Christianization of the Iberian Peninsula.

In the 2nd century AD, the Romans transformed the remnants of an old "castro" into a military fortification. Five centuries later the site was conquered by the Moors who built the original castle. Some of the Almohad walls built or reinforced in the 12th century are still visible, scattered around the city. After being definitely reconquered by D. Paio Peres Correia in 1249 the castle was rebuilt and it is segments of this period that are still visible today. The castle was badly damaged by the Great Earthquake of 1755 and whatever was left was incorporated in the buildings constructed after the earthquake. In recent years significant efforts have been made to recover the monument.
