The Castle of Tavira is a medieval fortress perched on a hill in the historic center, offering some of the best views in the Algarve.

Visitors can climb the ramparts for sweeping vistas of Tavira's rooftops, the river, and the distant ocean. The site is a peaceful spot to appreciate the town's layout and history.
