Welcome Back to the Camera Obscura! We are now open to the public. We have missed you all dearly and are excited to see you and your families back at the Camera Obscura. On the skyline of the pretty Moorish town of Tavira stands a strange construction. A cylindrical form on spindly legs with what appears to be a single eye that slowly turns to observe the town, it's presence like that of an alien spaceship from War of the Worlds. The cylinder however contains a delightful camera obscura, and in the cool darkened space it's revolving lens projects telescopic images of the town below onto a large concave screen. The Guide tells you that from ground level you cannot be seen as you observe the comings and goings of the street below. What fun then, when walking through the town, you become aware of the eye turning to face you and you face it, smile and wave at the surprised tourists inside. Thank you for your visit, we do appreciate it very much!

The Perfect introduction to Tavira , easy access via a lift , this is an interesting view of the town in real time . It all takes place in the top of the old water tower in a darkened room, The tour guide is very knowledgeable & well informed he is multi lingual with a great sense of humour , he tells you about the history of Tavira and the surrounding area using the device to illustrate some funny and interesting story's . I can recomend the Camera obscure , great value at €5.

Lovely cobbled square with a fountain bounded on one side by cafes to sit and watch the world go by.. The Tourist office is also on the square. Easy to find as it sits on one side of the Roman Bridge.

i thought id never review a railway bridge on TripAdvisor but here goes. this bridge links the railway from faro to vila santo antonio several local trains clatter over it daily. although not on its own here there are another two bridges that span the tidal river the road bridge to the town just below the rail bridge and further north is the main road the avoids the town. all the three structures are designed well so easy on the eye. we stayed at the Maria Nova hotel and could see the bridge from our room ... we sort of set the time to get out of bed when the 08:11s rattled over the viaduct !
