ABOUT
TAVIRA
Tavira
is one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve and its
origin seems to date back to around 2.000 BC. The location was of
considerable importance during the Roman period and there are nearby
excavations that evidence of a very large Roman settlement. During the
occupation of the Algarve by the Moors this town was given considered
importance due to its fishing industry. Like most of the Algarve
towns, mainly all the major buildings including its castle were virtually
destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. The town has since been rebuilt with
many fine 18th Century buildings, churches and the Roman bridge that links
the two parts of the town across the River Gilão.
The immediate beach for this town lies past the salt pans and is reached by
a ferryboat that takes the visitor to the long attractive sandy-bar island
known as Ilha de Tavira.
Tavira Island is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a wide lagoon
area characterized by its flora and fauna biodiversity. Through the years, Tavira has
preserved and elevated its natural, historical, patrimonial and
cultural resources.
