Bridge over the River Gilao, Tavira, Portugal, 2009. This impressive seven-arched bridge 'Roman bridge' is now not considered to be Roman after a recent archaeological survey, but does in fact originate from a 12th century Moorish bridge. Tavira's origins date back to the late Bronze Age (1000-800 BC). In the 8th century BC it became one of the first Phoenician settlements in the Iberian West. The Moorish occupation of Tavira between the 8th and 13th centuries left its mark on the agriculture, architecture and culture of the area. That influence can still be seen in Tavira today with its whitewashed buildings, Moorish style doors and rooftops. A castle, two mosques and palaces were built by the Moors.
