Tavira Castle
Look out across the rooftops of historic Tavira from a tower in this ruined fortress, which has withstood royal sieges, pirate attacks and natural disasters.

Misericordia Church
Dating back to the 16th century, this church is one of the Algarve’s most exquisite pieces of Renaissance architecture that includes remarkable stonemasonry.

Tavira
Nestled where the Gilão River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Tavira is a beautiful fishing town in the east of the Algarve. The Ilha de Tavira (Tavira Island), with its impressive 14 km of beach and delightful historic town, is a true highlight of the Algarve.

Praca da Republica
Check out Tavira’s main square, which served as the town’s marketplace for centuries and is now surrounded by restaurants and elegant heritage buildings with preserved façades.

Roman Bridge
Despite its name, Tavira’s central footbridge wasn’t constructed during the Roman Empire, but it does sit where an ancient bridge once was.
Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo
If Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo is what brings you to town, hopefully you'll have a chance to explore more of Santa Maria e Santiago.
