  • Free entrance but only the walls are preserve, the best as normal are the views. We share the visit with a group of kids with their 3 kings hat ;-)

  • The church next to the castle and Tavira tower was constructed over a mosque. You do not pay to enter and visit it but you pay a fee of one euro to go up to the tower and visit the sacro museum

  • There is a Tavira tower at Cadiz with a camara obscura so we were laughing saying that the water tank at the top was the camara abscura of Tavira. Well the following day we founded that it was reconverted in a camara obscura ….. this one is just one year old, and they went to learn at the Cadiz one.

    It is a very god way to get a first touch with the city for just 2 euros per person

  • Well it is not really a roman bridge anymore as it was rebuilt after the famous earthquake but it is still called roman after that!

    It used to be the only way to connect both parts of the city and after some floods it got destroyed so they did a temporal one also that became permanent as it is still there ;-)

  • This church is under reconstruction as most of the monuments in Tavira, is close to the tourist office, but it is one of the most important renascence monuments in Portugal from the XVI century
