Tavira Castle and the Church of Santa Maria do Castelo

Highlight • Castle

The historic center of Tavira is beautiful, with narrow, cobbled streets. Some of the buildings are colorful or covered in tiles. To see: the old convent of Tavira, now converted into a hotel, the church of Santa Maria do Castelo and the Castle of Tavira.

Convento das Bernardas

Highlight • Religious Site

The Convento das Bernardas transformed the former Monastery of the Cistercian Order in Tavira into housing, which housed that religious order between the 16th and 19th centuries. The rehabilitation was carried out based on a project by the renowned architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, winner of the 2011 Pritzker Prize.

Vila Real de Santo António

Highlight • Settlement

In the 18th century, the village of Santo António de Arenilha was swallowed by the sea and sand. Vila Real de Santo António was then built: it was important to control the entry of goods through the Guadiana, to place Monte Gordo's fisheries under royal control and to confront Spain, with whom Portugal was at war in 1762/1763. The reconstruction of Vila Real de Santo António was inspired by that of Lisbon, after the 1755 earthquake.
