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.

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.

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 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.

Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo
Though Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo might be what brings you to town, perhaps you'll have a chance to explore more of Santa Maria e Santiago while you are here.

Terra Estreita Beach
Make the most of the space at this gorgeous stretch of Ilha de Tavira’s coastline, where you can enjoy beach fun or explore the surrounding nature reserve.
