The Castle is in lovely tranquil spot with nice, well maintained gardens offering shade and peace, just a short walk from the center of Tavira. Ascend the steps to see a great view of the sea...

Beautiful gardens, peaceful out of season. Good views from the battlements. Tavira is a wonderful place, take your time to wander through the streets and alleyways and you will discover such lovely things ❤

Nice little castle. Free entrance flowers were all in bloom and it smelled wonderful. Stairs up the walls are steep and there is one place with no railing so be careful with little ones.
