Igrejas e Conventos Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria do Castelo Tavira Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria do Castelo Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria do Castelo Construída na segunda metade do século XIII, no local onde anteriormente se situara a mesquita de Tavira, a Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo foi construída segundo o estilo gótico, como comprova o seu portal ogival, mas sofreu estragos consideráveis aquando do terramoto de 1755, pelo que foi necessário proceder à sua reconstrução. O projeto ficou a cargo do arquiteto italiano Francisco Xavier Fabri, que teve a preocupação de manter a estrutura original da igreja – três naves e quatro tramos -tendo aproveitado a cabeceira e algumas capelas laterais, caso da Capela do Evangelho, de estilo gótico, e da Capela do Senhor dos Passos, de estilo manuelino mas revestida com azulejos do século XVII. Relativamente à ornamentação interior, merece destaque a capela-mor, onde se vê um retábulo do início do século XIX de arquitetura simulada (pintada). Nas paredes laterais da capela-mor observam-se duas inscrições medievais que assinalam a presença do túmulo de D. Paio Peres Correia e dos seis cavaleiros que morreram na reconquista cristã de Tavira. Igualmente interessantes são o retábulo da Paixão, de estilo rococó, e o retábulo neoclássico do batistério, que incorpora uma bonita pintura do final do século XVIII representando a assunção da Virgem Nossa Senhora, e cuja autoria se atribui ao italiano Corrado Guiaquinto. Nesta igreja, oportunidade ainda para visitar uma exposição de arte sacra com imagens e pinturas datadas dos séculos XV a XIX. +++++ Églises et couvents Église mère de Santa Maria do Castelo Tavira Église paroissiale de Santa Maria do Castelo Construite dans la seconde moitié du XIIIe siècle sur le site de l'ancienne mosquée de Tavira, l'église de Santa Maria do Castelo était de style gothique, comme en témoigne son portail ogival, mais elle a subi des dommages considérables lors du tremblement de terre de 1755, et a donc dû être reconstruite. Le projet a été réalisé par l'architecte italien Francisco Xavier Fabri, qui s'est soucié de maintenir la structure originale de l'église - trois nefs et quatre tramways - en profitant de la tête de lit et de certaines chapelles latérales, comme la chapelle de l'Évangile, de style gothique, et la chapelle du Senhor dos Passos, de style manuélin mais recouverte de tuiles du XVIIe siècle. En ce qui concerne l'ornementation intérieure, la chapelle principale mérite d'être soulignée, où l'on peut voir un retable du début du XIXe siècle d'architecture simulée (peinte). Sur les murs latéraux de la chapelle principale se trouvent deux inscriptions médiévales qui marquent la présence du tombeau de D. Paio Peres Correia et des six chevaliers morts lors de la reconquête chrétienne de Tavira. Tout aussi intéressants sont le retable de la Passion, de style rococo, et le retable néoclassique du baptistère, qui comprend un beau tableau de la fin du XVIIIe siècle représentant l'assomption de la Vierge Marie, et dont la paternité est attribuée à l'Italien Corrado Guiaquinto. Dans cette église, l'occasion de visiter une exposition d'art sacré avec des images et des peintures datant du XVe au XIXe siècle. +++++ Churches and Convents Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo Tavira Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo Mother Church of Santa Maria do Castelo Built in the second half of the 13th century on the site of the former Tavira mosque, the Church of Santa Maria do Castelo was built in the Gothic style, as evidenced by its ogival gateway, but it suffered considerable damage during the 1755 earthquake, so it had to be rebuilt. The project was designed by the Italian architect Francisco Xavier Fabri, who took care to maintain the original structure of the church - three naves and four tramos - taking advantage of the headboard and some side chapels, such as the Gospel Chapel, in the Gothic style, and the Senhor dos Passos Chapel, in the Manueline style but covered with 17th century tiles. Regarding the interior ornamentation, the main chapel deserves to be highlighted, where one can see a retable from the beginning of the 19th century of simulated (painted) architecture. On the side walls of the main chapel there are two medieval inscriptions marking the presence of the tomb of D. Paio Peres Correia and the six knights who died in the Christian reconquest of Tavira. Equally interesting are the altarpiece of the Passion, in the Rococo style, and the neoclassical altarpiece of the baptistery, which incorporates a beautiful late 18th century painting depicting the assumption of the Virgin Mary, and whose authorship is attributed to the Italian Corrado Guiaquinto. In this church, an opportunity to visit an exhibition of sacred art with images and paintings dating from the 15th to 19th centuries.

Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo is a church in Tavira, Portugal. It is classified as a National Monument. 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) by D. Paio Peres Correia to replace the Arab mosque that existed here. The mosque is believed to have served the Medina (fortified city) of Tavira. The mosques existence hasn't been proven archaeologically. However, in 1718, a tomb was found with a corpse and an Alfange (type of Moorish sword). At the time, it was decided to bury it again with the Alfange. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_Santa_Maria_do_Castelo_(Tavira) PIPs ABOVE
