Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo (Tavira)

Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo is a church in Tavira, Portugal.

It is believed this church was built in the 13th century after the Reconquista of the city of Tavira from Moors.

The church was built as an initiative of the Order of Santiago (1242[1]) by D. Paio Peres Correia to replace an Arab mosque.

The mosque is believed to have served the area when Tavira had been a moorish Medina (fortified city).
