Vila Real de Santo António is a coastal town located in the easternmost part of Portugal's Algarve region, situated at the mouth of the Guadiana River which forms the border with Spain.

Founded in 1774 during the reign of King José I, the town was built following a distinctive grid pattern characteristic of Pombaline architecture, similar to the reconstruction of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. The town's historical significance is tied to its fishing industry and border trade, which were crucial to its development.

Today, Vila Real de Santo António maintains its historical charm through its well-preserved downtown area, featuring the central Marquês de Pombal Square with its distinctive black and white limestone pavement patterns. The town combines its cultural heritage with modern facilities, serving as both a cultural destination and a gateway between Portugal and Spain.
