Hiking

This fortification originally comes from the Moorish period, between the 8th and 13th centuries. After the reconquest it was rebuilt. King D. Diniz (1261-1325), who thought in terms of defense policy, included Tavira in the line of castles that were supposed to serve the national defense.

A few sections of the defensive wall, part of the medieval palace and an archway, the Arco da Misericórdia, have remained.

Hiking

Inside the Castelo de Tavira is a small botanical garden. Nice view of the old town.

Hiking

One of the oldest walls in Tavira. The steps to the battlements are high but the view over Tavira is worth it. The small garden inside, with its many flowering large and small plants, is worth seeing.
