The Church of Saint Mary of the Castle - Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo in the picturesque town of Tavira in Portugal. Originally built in the mid 13th century on what is thought to be the sight of a Moorish Mosque, the church was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake and subsequently rebuilt. Some of the original Gothic architecture remained undamaged and is incorporated in the current Church. To the right-hand side behind the Church stands an old water tower that is now a Camera Obscura.
