Tavira - Igreja Santa Maria do Castelo
Close by the Castro dos Mouros ruins, the Santa Maria do Castelo church is Gothic, having been converted from a mosque. It too had to be completely rebuilt following the earthquake. The church choir holds the tombs of seven knights killed by the Moors in 1242 even though a ceasefire had been agreed.
