About Tavira Castle
Algarve
The historic Tavira Castle dates to the Roman and Moorish periods, though much of the current structure was rebuilt after the Christian Reconquest in the 13th century. It played an important role in the defence of Tavira throughout the centuries and has been involved in many historical events. The castle is situated on a hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the town, the Gilão River, and the surrounding landscape. You can explore the remains of the castle’s walls, towers, and battlements, which reflect the architectural influences of different periods. The main keep and parts of the Moorish wall still stand, providing a glimpse into the castle’s medieval past. The castle grounds are also home to beautiful gardens, with well-maintained greenery and shaded areas to relax. The space offers a peaceful escape, and it’s a popular spot for sightseeing and photography.
