Algarve
The Algarve was a nominal kingdom in southern Portugal, without separate institutions or significant autonomy. Afonso III conquered Faro in 1249, and the 1267 Treaty of Badajoz settled Castilian claims.
From 1471 the royal title included the Algarves on both sides of the sea, encompassing Portuguese possessions in North Africa. Portugal abandoned its last North African outpost in 1769, and administrative reforms replaced the Algarve with the district of Faro in 1835.
