The picturesque town of Tavira was founded in 400 BC and was an important trading post between Europe and North Africa. The River Gilão, on the banks of which the town is built is crossed by two main bridges. One of these is known as the Roman Bridge (Ponte Romana) as it was built on the foundations of the bridge on the route of the Roman road which linked Faro and Castro Marim. A tile Plaque located at the southern end of the Tavira Roman bridge is a Memorial of fallen heroes of the crisis of 1383 to 1385 of the Independence of Portugal. […]. From the bridge there are good views of the palm-fringed riverbanks and many of the city’s finest buildings. Google

Have a wonderful new week!
