Little is known of the earliest Stone Age inhabitants of Europe's southwestern extremity. The ancient Greeks called them the Cynetes (or Cunetes). Whatever their origins, their culture evolved under the pressure and influence of foreign forces. Among the many invading armies that settled here and contributed to nascent Portuguese culture were Phoenicians, who settled in the area around 1,000 b.c., followed by the Celts, Iberians, Greeks, and Carthaginians. But it was the Romans, who arrived late in the third century b.c., who most greatly influenced all of Iberia. They built towns, industries, roads, and bridges, developed agriculture, and bequeathed the Latin language, of which Portuguese is a direct descendant. The Romans named the southwestern province of the peninsula Lusitania, oddly enough for one of the Celtiberian tribes they defeated, and by the third century a.d. had introduced Christianity. By the beginning of the fourth century the Algarve had a bishop in place, based in Faro. But Rome had already fallen into decay, and soon hordes of northern tribesmen took over the empire. The Algarve fell to the Visigoths in the mid-fifth century. Under Moorish Rule In a.d. 711, the Moors brought powerful armies from North Africa and launched a devastating attack on the Iberian peninsula, conquering much of what would become Spain and Portugal. They imposed Islam and left an indelible influence on the countryside and the population of the Algarve. The Moorish legacy can still be seen in the form of wells and waterwheels, squat white houses, the dark complexions of the people, and in the very name given the region — taken from Al-Gharb, which means "country of the west" (when the Moors conquered the territory, it was the most westerly in the known world). The Moors governed their Iberian kingdoms from across the border in Seville, but the Algarve had its own regional capital and huge, invulnerable fortress. The capital was Chelb (or Xelb), and it was bigger and better defended than Lisbon. Today the town, known as Silves,  is a provincial outpost whose only besiegers are busloads of tourists who climb the narrow streets up to the old Moorish ramparts.

Litet är känt om de tidigaste stenåldersinvånarna i Europas sydvästra extremitet. De antika grekerna kallade dem Cyneterna (eller Cunetes). Oavsett ursprung utvecklades deras kultur under påtryckningar och inflytande från utländska krafter. Bland de många invaderande arméer som bosatte sig här och bidrog till den stinkande portugisiska kulturen fanns fenicier, som bosatte sig i området omkring 1 000 f.Kr., följda av kelterna, iberierna, grekerna och karthagerna. Men det var romarna, som anlände sent på 200-talet f.Kr., som mest påverkade hela Iberien. De byggde städer, industrier, vägar och broar, utvecklade jordbruket och testamenterade det latinska språket, varav portugisiska är en direkt ättling. Romarna namngav den sydvästra provinsen på halvön Lusitania, märkligt nog för en av de keltiberiska stammar de besegrade, och hade på 200-talet e.Kr. introducerat kristendomen. I början av 300-talet hade Algarve en biskop på plats, med säte i Faro. Men Rom hade redan fallit i förfall, och snart tog horder av nordstatsstammar över riket. Algarve föll för visigoterna i mitten av femte århundradet. Under moriskt styre I e.d. 711 förde morerna med sig mäktiga arméer från Nordafrika och inledde ett förödande anfall mot Iberiska halvön, och erövrade mycket av det som skulle bli Spanien och Portugal. De påtvingade islam och lämnade ett outplånligt inflytande på landsbygden och befolkningen i Algarve. Det moriska arvet kan fortfarande ses i form av brunnar och vattenhjul, huka vita hus, folkets mörka hyer, och i själva namnet givet regionen – taget från Al-Gharb, som betyder "västra landet" (när morerna erövrade territoriet var det det västligaste i den kända världen). Morerna styrde sina iberiska riken från andra sidan gränsen i Sevilla, men Algarve hade en egen regionhuvudstad och en enorm, osårbar fästning. Huvudstad var Chelb (eller Xelb), och den var större och bättre försvarad än Lissabon. Idag är orten, känd som Silves, en provinsiell utpost vars enda belägrare är busslaster med turister som klättrar uppför de smala gatorna upp till de gamla moriska vallarna.
