Tavarede Historic Center
Under the skies of Figueira XVI
Hello Figueira!
Beautiful sky, Figueira, blue as if it were the Atlantic bathing the infinite. I walk in Tavarede, one of Figueira’s fourteen parishes. The boulevard is quiet and pleasant. I quickly reach the Paço de Tavarede, the historic center of the village.
Tavarede, also called “Land of the Limonete”, is located two kilometers from the beach, and is part of the urban area of the Municipality of Figueira da Foz. Its particular characteristics – which are not few – encompass modern sceneries and amenities surrounding relevant and charming historical places and heritage .
Studies point to the 12th century as the historic period in which, for the first time, the name TAVAREDE appears to the region, through a donation of 1092, by D. Elvira and her husband, at the time, governor of Coimbra.
Tavarede Historic Center
As in the vast majority of Figueira parishes, “the old nucleus of Tavarede is, even today, easily perceptible […] from the church to Paço de Tavarede …” ¹. The entire region boasts centuries-old historic traces, styles of construction, denominations and narrow streets, tiles on the façades, urban and rural activities intertwined.
In this scenario, among other heritage, lies the humble centenary water spring of the neighborhood, built in 1876. It is the Fonte de Tavarede. It is considered the best drinking water in the municipality of Figueira da Foz.
The Spring of Tavarede
Tribute to honorable Tavaredenses
When you visit Figueira da Foz, the romantic and humble “Fonte de Tavarede”, two kilometers from the beaches of Buarcos and Praia da Claridade awaits you!

I saw you once, only
from afar…
I missed your hand
which I never held
and I miss your love
which had never felt
……………………………….
… the journey is over
here I am again looking at the spring
without a pitcher, without you
although I never had you,
I know I lost you.
