history
Celts presumably lived in Salir , but the assumptions are still uncertain. The Romans also settled here, u. a. a furnace is still preserved as one of the relatively few Roman finds in the region. The current place was probably rebuilt in the 12th century under the Almohads . The Arab fortress was probably conquered by King D.Sancho I in 1189 .
Paio Peres Correia settled in Salir to pay homage to King D.Afonso III. to wait, and with him to conquer the Algarve completely in 1251 and thus to conclude the Reconquista in Portugal.
In 1505 , Salir had existed for a long time as an independent community. In 1993 it was elevated to a small town ( Vila ).
