  • Tavira's Guidebook Download This Guide And
    EN tmunicipaliaty virrd Editioan tavira Beautiful empty beaches with sands that seem to go on forever. Fields of orange trees, heavy with the scent of blossom. Then hills of fig and almond trees and houses with dazzling whitewashed walls and distinctive chimneys decorated to resemble the fine tracery of lace. And last of all, the great open spaces of the hills, where eagles soar, birds sing and flowers bloom. This is just a hint of the charms of Tavira and its municipality, an invitation to come and find out more. THE HISTORY OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TAVIRA The existence of hill forts and megalithic monuments dates the human presence in Tavira municipality to the Neolithic period (4,000 to 1,500 B.C.). In the Chalcolithic and subsequent periods, this presence was associated with the mining operations that flourished in the northeast of the Algarve and with trading links with the Mediterranean. It was on the coast, however, that the largest settlement grew up after the Roman conquest (1st century B.C.), thanks to the economic importance of fishing and the fish-salting industry. The major town of Balsa, situated near to Tavira and connected by road to Ossonoba (Faro) and Baesuris (Castro Marim), dates from this period. Under Moorish rule (8th to 13th centuries), the strategic importance of Tavira’s castle and port made it one of the main towns in the Algarve. It was the Knights of the Order of Sant’Iago (St. James) who occupied Tavira in 1242, continuing the Christian reconquest that began with the taking of neighbouring Cacela.
