The Roman Catholic Diocese of Faro (Latin: Dioecesis Pharaonensis) is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Évora.[1]
History
A see in the Algarve region was founded at Ossonoba in 306. After the Islamic conquest, this place fell, and in 688, the see was suppressed. It was re-established in 1188 at Siloes, and in 1218 was made suffragan to the archdiocese of Braga, then to the archdiocese of Seville, in 1393 to the archdiocese of Lisbon and finally, in 1540, to the archdiocese of Évora. The title was transferred to Faro, 30 March 1577.[2]
